Free Tableau Desktop-Specialist Practice Exam with Questions & Answers

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

Explanation

There are two types of sets: dynamic sets and fixed sets. The members of a dynamic set change when the underlying data changes. Dynamic sets can only be based on a single dimension.

To create a dynamic set:

1) In the Data pane, right-click a dimension and select Create > Set.

2) In the Create Set dialog box, configure your set. You can configure your set using the following tabs:

General: Use the General tab to select one or more values that will be considered when computing the set.

You can alternatively select the Use all option to always consider all members even when new members are added or removed.

None of the other options exist, and therefore are incorrect answers.

Bar charts in Tableau do not require a dimension to be created. You can create a bar chart using only a measure; this will produce a single bar that represents the aggregate of the measure values, such as the sum or average of sales.

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.

Explanation

As the names suggest, if we subtract the order date from the shipping date, we simply get the number of days between these 2 dates.

We can these use this calculated field in our charts, and can use COUNT, SUM, AVG etc with them according to our need.

To provide additional information when hovering over a field in the Data pane, as shown in the exhibit, you need to configure a default comment for the field. This comment can be set by right-clicking on the field in the Data pane and selecting "Default Properties" and then "Comment." The text entered as a comment here will then be displayed as a tooltip when hovering over the field in the Data pane.

When you double-click a continuous numeric measure named Sales in Tableau, it automatically creates a bar chart. Tableau's default behavior for a single measure is to display it as a bar chart, with the measure values represented on the Y-axis and an automatic range on the X-axis.

According to the Tableau Desktop Specialist Exam Guide, city, country, and airport are three geographic roles that you can assign to a field. Address and time zone are not geographic roles in Tableau.
