Creating a scatter plot requires a minimum of how many measures? A.) 3 B.) 1 C.) 2 D.) 4

Creating a scatter plot requires a minimum of how many measures? D.) 4 -------------------------------------------------------------- *In Tableau, you create a scatter plot by placing at least one measure on the Columns shelf and at least one measure on the Rows shelf (Total 2 minimum). *If these shelves contain both dimensions and measures, Tableau places the measures as the innermost fields, which means that measures are always to the right of any dimensions that you have also placed on these shelves. *The word "innermost" in this case refers to the table structure.

Suppose I have the following view. What will be the total number of marks if I drag a new measure to the row shelf vs the column shelf? D.) If dragged to row shelf: 14 marks; if dragged to column shelf: 7 marks -------------------------------------------------------------- *Dragged to row shelf: We now have 2 rows, and the same 7 columns for both these rows. Therefore, 2x7 = 14 marks! *One graph on top of another* *Dragged to column shelf: But if we drag the same measure to the column shelf, we have just 1 row and a chart created for each of the columns. So (1x7) = 7 marks!

Nothing changes in the view, but a group is created in the Dimensions shelf C.) A new mark (bar) is created, which consolidates all members of the group D.) It is not possible to group by labels

Suppose you have a bar chart. When we group by labels in a view, which of the following happens? C.) A new mark (bar) is created, which consolidates all members of the group -------------------------------------------------------------- *See Image...a new bar is then created, and the color of all bars remain the same *If we had grouped by choosing the marks instead of the labels, the color of those specific bars would be different, and a new mark (bar) would not be created

True or False: Physical tables remain distinct (normalized), not merged in the data source whereas logical tables are merged into a single, flat table.

True or False: Physical tables remain distinct (normalized), not merged in the data source whereas logical tables are merged into a single, flat table. False -------------------------------------------------------------- *Whenever you think of joins: Think that after the join is created, we get 1 single flat combined (joined) table. This flat combined table is created prior to us creating our visualizations. This happens at the physical layer. *If you ever think about relationships, know that all tables will remain distinct and separate, and relationships sit at the logical layer. *At run time, when you bring in the dimensions and measures to create your viz, Tableau very smartly creates the necessary joins, relates the tables and sends queries to these tables to get the resultant data back in the most meaningful way possible.

*Not A Question; Just Important Information* -Dates in Tableau will behave differently depending on whether they are a Datepart (blue) or a Datevalue (green). -This affects how the axes display/behave and also how visualisations such as line charts will display. -The difference essentially boils down to Dateparts behaving like a dimension as opposed to a measure which is how Datevalues behave. -This means that Dateparts behave like discrete categories on the view whereas Datevalues are more like continuous numeric values.

-If Datepart months are placed on filters January to December will be tick-able options in the filter. This also means that conditions and top/bottom filters can be applied to datepart filters like any other dimension filter. -Datevalues placed on filters behave like measure filters. A min and a max date can be set and there is a relative dates option which allows you to choose things like only show the previous 3 months or years etc.
