Desktop-Specialist Exam Dumps - Tableau Desktop Specialist Exam

When the Physical Tables option is selected for an extract in Tableau, an individual table is created for each physical table in the extract. This means that the extract will include a separate table for each underlying table in your database, maintaining the database's structure within the extract. This can be useful when you need to preserve the original granularity of the data or when working with certain database optimizations.

According to the Tableau Desktop Specialist Exam Readiness, to create a calculation that returns a customer name followed by a comma, a space, and then the customer’s age, you should use the formula [Customer Name] + “,” + STR([Age]). This is because you need to concatenate strings using the + operator, and convert the numeric field [Age] to a string using the STR() function.

A bullet graph is a variation of a bar graph developed to replace dashboard gauges and meters. A bullet graph is useful for comparing the performance of a primary measure to one or more other measures. Below is a single bullet graph showing how actual sales compared to estimated sales.

We can create a Bullet graph with just 2 measures! This method requires the LEAST number of fields possible to create this type of chart.

The best way to tackle such questions in the exam is to click the "SHOW ME" button on top right, and hover over the chart we want to create.

In our case, it is a Bullet graph.

Therefore, we need 2 measures at least to create this chart, and 0 or more dimensions.

You can drag the filter by clicking on the 2 lines on top, and then dragging the filter as shown:

Very important question for the exam and appears quite a lot too.

The correct answer is - By dragging another dimension to Color on the Marks card.

This is what the question says we have already created. Now to convert this into a Stacked bar chart, we will drop another dimension on Color in the Marks card.

The rest won't create stacked bar charts, and hence are incorrect choices. The best way to answer such questions on the real exam is to quickly do what the options say and see if they satisfy the requirements in the question.

In Tableau, you can rename a field directly in the Data pane by clicking and holding on the field name until it becomes editable, allowing you to type a new name. Alternatively, you can use the drop-down menu associated with the field in the Data pane and select the "Rename" option. Both methods provide a quick and easy way to change the name of a field without affecting the underlying data structure. The "Format menu" and "Replace References" option do not apply to renaming fields.

Explanation

When you connect to a new data source, Tableau assigns each field in the data source as dimension or measure in the Data pane, depending on the type of data the field contains. You use these fields to build views of your data.

1) Right click on Rows or Columns, and choose format. In the Font option click on Bold. (CORRECT) - this will modify only the selected axis (row or column)

2) Choose Format then Font from the Menu bar, and select Bold under the Header option (INCORRECT) - this modifies both rows and columns at the same time

3) Choose Format from the Menu bar, select Row or Column, and then select Bold under the header option (CORRECT) -  this will modify only the selected axis (row or column)

4) Select Text Label on the Marks Card, choose Rows or Columns, and then select Bold. (INCORRECT) - no such option exists
