In addition to handling calculations slightly differently, there are some limitations on secondary data sources.
You may not be able to sort by a field from a secondary data source, and action filters may not work as expected with blended data. For more information, see Other data blending issues.
NEW QUESTION 45
How can you change the Default Aggregation for a measure in Tableau?

- B. By right clicking the measure -> Default properties and choosing Aggregation
- C. By right clicking the dimension -> Default properties and choosing Aggregation
- D. By double clicking on the measure, and then choosing Window -> Default Aggregation

_________________ is useful when you need to change how the data source is configured on a sheet-by-sheet basis, and when you want to combine databases that don't allow relationships or joins
- A. Data Blending
- B. Union
- C. Data segregation
- D. Data Joining
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Data blending is performed on a sheet-by-sheet basis and is established when a field from a second data source is used in the view. To create a blend in a workbook already connected to at least two data sources, bring a field from one data source to the sheet-it becomes the primary data source.
Switch to the other data source and use a field on the same sheet-it becomes a secondary data source. An orange linking icon will appear in the data pane, indicating which field(s) are being used to blend the data sources.

NEW QUESTION 49
Which of the following is NOT a new feature introduced in Tableau 2020.1?
- A. Buffer Calculations
- B. Viz Animations
- C. Set Control
- D. Dynamic Paramaters
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Your Tableau Desktop Specialist exam will be based on the 2020.1 version.
Set controls are a new feature introduced in the 2020.2 version, and hence is the correct answer - it is not a part of 2020.1 For the 2020.1 version the new features were:
1) Viz animations:
Viz animations help you see and understand your changing data. It's easy to track the logical steps behind data's evolution and tell powerful data stories. Sorting, filtering, adding fields, and other actions will now smoothly animate your visualizations. Choose whether to turn Viz Animations on or off, and decide how you'd best like to apply animations to your new workbooks.
2) Dynamic Parameters:
Say goodbye to republishing workbooks with parameters every time the underlying data changes. Set your parameter once, and Tableau will automatically update the parameter's list of values every time someone opens the workbook.
3) Buffer Calculations:
Buffer calculations allow you to visualize the distance around point locations. Give Tableau three parameters-location, distance, and a unit of measure-and a buffer, or boundary is instantly created.
Answering complex spatial questions becomes easier than ever before-visualize what properties are within
200 meters of a proposed transit site, or how many competitors' stores are within 1 mile of their store, and more.

Is SUM a table calculation?
- A. Yes
- B. No
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
SUM is an aggregate function, not a table calculation!
A table calculation is a transformation you apply to the values in a visualization. Table calculations are a special type of calculated field that computes on the local data in Tableau. They are calculated based on what is currently in the visualization and do not consider any measures or dimensions that are filtered out of the visualization.
The most common Table calculations are:
Running Total
Percent Difference
Difference
Percent of Total
Rank
Percentile

These can be calculated using : Table(across), Cell, or Specific dimensions!

Which of the following are benefits of using Data Extracts in Tableau?
- A. Improved Performance
- B. Faster to work with
- C. Ability to use the data offline
- D. Working with freshest data at all times
Answer: A,B,C
Explanation:
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!
