NEW QUESTION # 141
_____________ is a snapshot of the data that Tableau stores locally. Good for very large datasets of which we only need few fields.
- A. Tableau Workbook (.twb)
- B. Tableau Data Source (.tds)
- C. Tableau Data Extract (.tde)
- D. Tableau Packaged Workbook (.twbx)
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Tableau Data Extract (TDE) is a snapshot of the data that Tableau stores locally. Good for very large datasets of which we only need few fields. Performance is optimised because it queries its own database engine instead of the local data source.
When you create an extract of your data, you can reduce the total amount of data by using filters and configuring other limits. After you create an extract, you can refresh it with data from the original data. When refreshing the data, you have the option to either do a full refresh, which replaces all of the contents in the extract, or you can do an incremental refresh, which only adds rows that are new since the previous refresh.
Extracts are advantageous for several reasons:
1) Supports large data sets: You can create extracts that contain billions of rows of data.
2) Fast to create: If you're working with large data sets, creating and working with extracts can be faster than working with the original data.
3) Help improve performance: When you interact with views that use extract data sources, you generally experience better performance than when interacting with views based on connections to the original data.
4) Support additional functionality: Extracts allow you to take advantage of Tableau functionality that's not available or supported by the original data, such as the ability to compute Count Distinct.
5) Provide offline access to your data: Extracts allow you to save and work with the data locally when the original data is not available. For example, when you are traveling.

NEW QUESTION # 144
Are animations enabled by default in Tableau?
- A. No
- B. Yes
Answer: A
Explanation:
No, by default, animations are not enabled in Tableau.
We can animate visualizations to better highlight changing patterns in your data, reveal spikes and outliers, and see how data points cluster and separate.
Animations visually transition between filter, sort, and zoom settings, different pages, and changes to filter, parameter, and set actions. As visualizations animate in response to these changes, viewers can more clearly see how data differs, helping them make better informed decisions.
When you author animations, you can choose between two different styles: simultaneous or sequential. Here are examples of each type.
1) Simultaneous animations
The default simultaneous animations are faster and work well when showing value changes in simpler charts and dashboards.
2) Sequential animations
Sequential animations take more time but make complex changes clearer by presenting them step-by-step.
To Animate visualizations in a workbook:
1) Choose Format > Animations.
2) If you want to animate every sheet, under Workbook Default, click On. Then do the following:
For Duration, choose a preset, or specify a custom duration of up to 10 seconds.
For Style, choose Simultaneous to play all animations at once or Sequential to fade out marks, move and sort them, and then fade them in.
3) To override workbook defaults for a particular sheet, change the settings under Selected Sheet.

NEW QUESTION # 150
You have a dashboard that shows car rental statistics by city, including a field named Car Dropoff City in the view. A URL action in the dashboard uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<Car Dropoff City> as the URL target.
When you click Salt Lake City in the view, to where will the URL action direct you?
- A. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt+Lake+City+Car+Dropoff+City
- B. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt.LakeXity
- C. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<Car Dropoff City>
- D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<Salt-Lake-City>
Answer: A
Explanation:
When you click Salt Lake City in the view, the URL action will direct you to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt+Lake+City+Car+Dropoff+City. A URL action is a hyperlink that points to a web page or other web-based resource outside of Tableau. You can use URL actions to create an email or link to additional information about your data. To customize links based on your data, you can automatically enter field values as parameters in URLs3 In this case, the URL action uses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/<Car Dropoff City> as the URL target, where <Car Dropoff City> is a field value from the view. When you click Salt Lake City in the view, Tableau will replace <Car Dropoff City> with Salt Lake City in the URL target.
However, since spaces are not allowed in URLs, Tableau will encode them as + signs instead. Therefore, the final URL will be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt+Lake+City+Car+Dropoff+City3 The other options are not correct because they do not reflect how Tableau encodes field values in URL actions.

You have the following visualization.
Which set type is created when you select the Create Set option?
- A. A Top N set
- B. A fixed set
- C. A dynamic set
- D. A combined set
Answer: C
Explanation:
When you use the 'Create Set' option in Tableau, it creates a dynamic set if the conditions for inclusion in the set are based on a calculation or an aggregation that may change as the data is updated or as filters are applied.
Fixed sets are static and do not change with data refreshes, while dynamic sets can update to reflect the current state of the data.
NEW QUESTION # 156
In an extract, what are three differences between a full refresh versus an incremental refresh? Choose three.
- A. An incremental refresh only adds rows that are new
- B. A full refresh must be configured. An incremental refresh is the default extract in Tableau.
- C. A full refresh is usually very slow. An incremental refresh can take less time.
- D. A full refresh replaces all the extracted data with the data in the underlying data source.
- E. An incremental refresh can only be run from Tableau Server.
Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
According to the [Tableau Desktop Specialist Exam Guide], an incremental refresh only adds rows that are new, based on a specified column and value. A full refresh replaces all the extracted data with the data in the underlying data source. A full refresh is usually very slow, especially for large extracts. An incremental refresh can take less time, depending on how many new rows are added. A full refresh does not need to be configured, it is the default option for extracts in Tableau. An incremental refresh can be run from both Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server.

NEW QUESTION # 163
To display data that has both negative and positive quantitative values, Tableau Desktop will display marks by using__________________as the default.
- A. a diverging palette
- B. the full color range
- C. a categorical palette
- D. a sequential palette
Answer: A
Explanation:
Tableau Desktop will display marks by using a diverging palette as the default to display data that has both negative and positive quantitative values. A diverging palette is a type of color palette that uses two different color ranges to show positive and negative values. For example, a red-green diverging palette uses shades of red for negative values and shades of green for positive values. A diverging palette is automatically applied when there are both negative and positive values for a measure that is placed on Color on the Marks card5 The other options are not correct types of color palettes that Tableau Desktop uses as the default for data with both negative and positive values. A full color range is not a valid term for a color palette in Tableau. A sequential palette is a type of color palette that uses different shades of one color to show variations in a single measure. A sequential palette is usually applied when there are only positive values for a measure that is placed on Color on the Marks card5 A categorical palette is a type of color palette that uses different colors to show discrete values or categories. A categorical palette is usually applied when there is a dimension that is placed on Color on the Marks card5
NEW QUESTION # 164
What are two outcomes when you drag a continuous date value to the Rows shelf? Choose two,
- A. The pill on the Rows shelf is blue.
- B. The pill on the Rows shelf is green.
- C. The date part Is displayed as labels.
- D. A quantitative axis is shown.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Dragging a continuous date value to the Rows shelf in Tableau results in a green pill on the Rows shelf, indicating a continuous field. It also results in a quantitative axis being displayed on the visualization.
Continuous fields are used to create axes on charts and can represent a range of values smoothly. This is opposed to discrete date values, which would be represented by a blue pill and typically show headers or labels rather than a continuous axis.
