- A. From the Analytics Pane
- B. Using Marks in the view
- C. From the Dimensions Shelf
- D. Using Labels in the View
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
Explanation
**IMPORTANT QUESTION AND EXPLANATION, PLEASE READ**
3 ways to group data -
1) Marks
2) Labels
3) Dimensions shelf.
*IMPORTANT*
If we Group the data by selecting the marks, then they remain separate marks in the view and then have the same colour. Also, a new group is created in the Dimensions shelf. Example - Using the sample superstore dataset, first plot a bar chart showing sales for each sub-category:
Here, if we Select Phones, Chairs and Storage by selecting the MARKS (Bars), and then group them:
They remain seperate marks (BARS) but are grouped by the same colour.
Now, if we didn't do this, and rather grouped by selecting their Labels (Names):
Then they no longer remain separate Marks (bars) but are rather consolidated into a single Bar:
Finally, we can group directly from the Dimensions shelf as follows:
Now choose Phones, Chairs and Storage and Click Group:
You will now automatically have a new Dimension as follows:
NEW QUESTION 45
Which of the following are the options to export the data used to build the view / visualisations?
- A. PDF File
- B. MS Access Database
- C. CSV file
- D. JSON format
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
You can export the data in a Tableau data source, including all or part of the records from your original data.
Alternatively, you can export only the portion of data used to generate the view.
Since the question mentions the data used to build the view, we'll focus on that :
*Export data in the view to Microsoft Access or .csv*
Export the data that is used to generate the view as an Access database (Windows only) or .csv file (Mac only).
1) In Tableau Desktop, select Worksheet > Export > Data.
2) Select a location and type a name for your Access database or .csv file.
3) Click Save.
4) If you're on Windows, the Export Data to Access dialog box displays to give you the option to immediately use the new Access database and continue working in Access without interrupting your work flow.
NEW QUESTION 46
For creating variable sized bins we use __________________
- A. Sets
- B. Calculated Fields
- C. Groups
- D. Table Calculations
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
One way to view a measure in Tableau Desktop is to split it into bins. You can think of bins as buckets based on a range of values. For example, say you have a measure that represents age. Instead of aggregating the measure to calculate the average age, you can bin the measure to define age groups: 0-5, 6-10, 11-15, and so on. Then you can count the number of people in each age group.
Create a calculated field for variable bin size
Step 1
Select Analysis > Create Calculated Field.
Step 2
In the Calculated Field dialog box, complete the following steps:

NEW QUESTION 52
Is SUM a table calculation?
- A. No
- B. Yes
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
SUM is an aggregate function, not a table calculation!
A table calculation is a transformation you apply to the values in a visualization. Table calculations are a special type of calculated field that computes on the local data in Tableau. They are calculated based on what is currently in the visualization and do not consider any measures or dimensions that are filtered out of the visualization.
The most common Table calculations are:
Running Total
Percent Difference
Difference
Percent of Total
Rank
Percentile

These can be calculated using : Table(across), Cell, or Specific dimensions!

- A. 3.704
- B. 3.840

2) Read the Question Carefully, we need to break down the visualisation by Region, then by Country, and then by State. So let's do that:
Drag Region to the column shelf, followed by Country. Drill down into Country to include states as well.
Then drag Quantity to the Row Shelf, and change the Aggregation to AVERAGE.
The following is our visualisation:
Now that you think of it, EVEN IF YOU REMOVE THE REGION, THE ANSWER REMAINS THE SAME.
Such elements will be present in the actual exam too, just to make the question sound a little difficult, but actually it is pretty straightforward :)

NEW QUESTION 62
True or False: We can disaggregate the data, to see all of the marks in the view at the most detailed level of granularity
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Whenever you add a measure to your view, an aggregation is applied to that measure by default. This default is controlled by the Aggregate Measures setting in the Analysis menu.
If you decide you want to see all of the marks in the view at the most detailed level of granularity, you can disaggregate the view. Disaggregating your data means that Tableau will display a separate mark for every data value in every row of your data source.
To disaggregate all measures in the view:
Clear the Analysis >Aggregate Measures option. If it is already selected, click Aggregate Measures once to deselect it.
