What are two use cases for a story? Choose two.

  1. Provide additional editing and interactive capabilities to your audience.
  2. Present a data narrative to lead your audience to your conclusions.
  3. Assemble a sequenced analysis to share with collaborators.
  4. To allow for easier exporting to Power Point.

Answer(s): B,C

Explanation:

You can use a story to present a data narrative to lead your audience to your conclusions, or to assemble a sequenced analysis to share with collaborators. A story is a sequence of visualizations that work together to convey information. You can create stories to tell a data story, provide context, demonstrate how decisions relate to outcomes, or to simply make a compelling case4



What are three options to change the scope of a reference line? Choose three.

  4. Maximum
  5. Per Cell

Answer(s): A,C,E

Explanation:

You can change the scope of a reference line by choosing one of the following options: Per Pane, Entire Table, or Per Cell. The scope determines how many reference lines are added to the view and how they are calculated. Per Pane adds one reference line for each pane in the view. Entire Table adds one reference line for the entire table in the view. Per Cell adds one reference line for each cell in the view

Which of the following situations describe the best reason to use a union?

  1. You have two tables with similarly named columns of data that you want to combine.
  2. You have two data sets with similar data types for which you want to find only distinct values.
  3. You have two tables with differently named columns of data that you want to combine.
  4. You have two data sets saved in different formats that you want to unify into a single format.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

You should use a union when you have two tables with similarly named columns of data that you want to combine. A union is a method for combining data by appending rows of one table onto another table. The tables that you union must have the same number of fields, the same field names, and the same data types2



What are three benefits of using an extract as compared to a live connection to a data source? Choose three.

  1. A live connection to a data source can be slow due to network and user traffic, whereas a connection to an extract improves performance.
  2. Extracts are stored in memory (RAM), resulting in faster query performance as compared with live data connections.
  3. A live connection to a data source provides the best performance for data connections.
  4. An extract reduces the amount of data stored on a client computer as compared to a live data connection.
  5. Calculated fields perform better in workbooks connected to extracts than in workbooks with live connections to a data source.

Answer(s): A,B,E

Explanation:

There are three benefits of using an extract as compared to a live connection to a data source:
A live connection to a data source can be slow due to network and user traffic, whereas a connection to an extract improves performance. An extract is a snapshot of data that is stored locally on your computer or on Tableau Server. An extract can reduce the load on the data source and speed up queries.
Extracts are stored in memory (RAM), resulting in faster query performance as compared with live data connections.
When you use an extract, Tableau loads the data into memory and optimizes it for analysis. This allows Tableau to perform calculations and aggregations faster than with live connections.
Calculated fields perform better in workbooks connected to extracts than in workbooks with live connections to a data source. Calculated fields are custom fields that you create using formulas or expressions.
When you use an extract, Tableau can process calculated fields more efficiently than with live connections.
