TDS-C01 Practice Questions

The only incorrect option is - Click on Dashboard in the Menu bar, select Tooltip, and then use the italics option.

This option doesn't exist. See below:

The rest of the options do exist, and therefore are correct:

Continuous fields in Tableau have specific characteristics:

A.  

Continuous fields appear as green pills:

Continuous fields in Tableau are represented as green pills in the view. This indicates that they are treated as a continuous range of values rather than discrete categories.

B.  

Continuous fields are numeric:

Continuous fields typically consist of numeric data that can take any value within a range. They are used to measure and compare data values.

C.  

The values in continuous fields are treated as an infinite range:

Continuous fields are treated as an infinite range, allowing for detailed and granular analysis of data. Unlike discrete fields, which are considered distinct and separate, continuous fields are seen as a seamless continuum.

Incorrect options:

D.  

Continuous fields are categorical: This is incorrect because categorical fields are discrete, not continuous.

E.  

Only measures can appear as continuous: This is incorrect because dimensions can also be treated as continuous in certain contexts.

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.

Explanation

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.

To work with the MOST up-do-date data, use a live connection instead!
