You just added this field to the Columns shelf.



What will this create?

  1. A vertical header
  2. A horizontal axis
  3. A vertical axis
  4. A horizontal header

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

We know that continuous fields will always create an axis, so options stating 'header' are automatically eliminated. For our question, see below:



Had the question asked us to place this pill on the Rows shelf instead, we would've gotten a different answer:



What are two use cases for creating hierarchies from the Data pane? Choose two.

  1. To concatenate all fields into a single field
  2. To add drilldown functionality for fields
  3. To create faster-performing queries
  4. To organize related fields together

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

Two use cases for creating hierarchies from the Data pane are to add drilldown functionality for fields and to organize related fields together. A hierarchy is a way of organizing data into different levels of detail. For example, a date hierarchy can have year, quarter, month, and day levels. A geographic hierarchy can have country, state, city, and zip code levels. By creating hierarchies from the Data pane, you can quickly drill down or up in a hierarchy to add or subtract more levels of detail in the view. You can also use hierarchies to group related fields together in the Data pane, making it easier to find and use them14 The other options are not valid use cases for creating hierarchies from the Data pane. To concatenate all fields into a single field, you need to use a calculated field or a join, not a hierarchy. To create faster-performing queries, you need to optimize your data source, filters, calculations, or extracts, not create hierarchies

Which of the following options best describe measures?

  1. They are categorical, qualitative
  2. They are categorical, quantitative
  3. They are numerical, qualitative
  4. They are numerical, quantitative

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Data fields are made from the columns in your data source. Each field is automatically assigned a data type (such as integer, string, date), and a role: Discrete Dimension or Continuous Measure (more common), or Continuous Dimension or Discrete Measure (less common).

Dimensions contain qualitative values (such as names, dates, or geographical data). You can use dimensions to categorize, segment, and reveal the details in your data. Dimensions affect the level of detail in the view.

Measures contain numeric, quantitative values that you can measure. Measures can be aggregated.
When you drag a measure into the view, Tableau applies an aggregation to that measure (by default).
