To have each record alternate between grey and white, you should change the row banding size to 1 in the Format Shading pane. This setting will ensure that each row has a different shading from the one above and below it, creating an alternating pattern of grey and white rows. References: The answer can be verified through practical application within Tableau or by consulting Tableau’s official learning resources, such as  Tableau Help: Format Shading  or  Tableau Training Pass: Formatting .

A reference line is used in Tableau to display a line at a constant value or a computed value such as an average, median, minimum, or maximum in a bar chart. In this case, adding a reference line would allow you to show the median, upper quartile, and lower quartile, which corresponds to the changes shown in the bar chart.

The correct order of the three actions is:

Add the date to the Columns shelf. Add the segment and the sales to the Rows shelf.

Aggregate the date to month and year.

From the Analytics pane, drag Forecast to the worksheet.

The first action is to add the date to the Columns shelf and the segment and the sales to the Rows shelf. This will create a line chart that shows the daily sales by segment over time. You can use the Show Me menu to choose a line chart if it is not selected by default.

The second action is to aggregate the date to month and year. This will group the daily sales into monthly sales and show the yearly trend. You can right-click on the date field on the Columns shelf and select Month (January 2017) from the menu. You can also drag Year from the Dimensions pane to the Columns shelf before or after Month.

The third action is to drag Forecast from the Analytics pane to the worksheet. This will add a forecast that predicts future sales by segment based on historical trends. You can customize the forecast by clicking on it and using the options on the Marks card.

The other options are not relevant for this scenario. Adding a trend line would show a linear or nonlinear relationship between two measures, but not a prediction of future values. Creating a calculated field that uses the model quantile function would return a value from a statistical model based on a given quantile, but not a forecast.

To filter the table to show the Top 10 NOC based on the number of medals won, you need to do the following steps:

Open the link to Book1 found on the desktop. This will open the Tableau workbook that contains the Disciplines worksheet.

Click on the Disciplines tab at the bottom of the workbook to open the worksheet. You will see a table that shows the NOC, discipline, and medals for each country.

Drag Medals from the Measures pane to the Filters shelf. This will open a dialog box that allows you to filter by different criteria.

Select Top from the dialog box. This will show you options to filter by the top or bottom values of a field.

Enter 10 in the text box next to By field. This will filter by the top 10 values of Medals.

Select NOC from the drop-down list next to By field. This will filter by the top 10 values of NOC based on Medals.

Click OK to apply the filter. You will see that the table now shows only 10 rows, one for each NOC with the highest number of medals.

To modify the bar chart to show the percentage of sales for each Subcategory within every Category, you need to do the following steps:

Open the link to Book1 found on the desktop. This will open the Tableau workbook that contains the CategoryPercentage worksheet.

Click on the CategoryPercentage tab at the bottom of the workbook to open the worksheet. You will see a bar chart that shows the total sales for each Subcategory across all Categories.

Right-click on Sales on the Columns shelf and select Add Table Calculation from the menu. This will open a dialog box that allows you to apply a calculation to your measure.

Select Percent of Total from the Calculation Type drop-down list. This will calculate the percentage of sales for each Subcategory out of the total sales for all Subcategories.

Select Category from the Compute Using drop-down list. This will calculate the percentage of sales for each Subcategory within every Category, instead of across all Categories. The total percentage for every Category will be 100%.

Click OK to apply the table calculation. You will see that the bar chart now shows the percentage of sales for each Subcategory within every Category.
