Tableau Desktop Specialist TDS-C01 Updated Exam

Explanation

You can union your data to combine two or more tables by appending values (rows) from one table to another. To union your data in Tableau data source, the tables must come from the same connection.

For example, suppose you have the following customer purchase information stored in three tables, separated by month. The table names are "May2016," "June2016," and "July2016."

A union of these tables creates the following single table that contains all rows from all tables.

Tableau Desktop will display marks by using a diverging palette as the default to display data that has both negative and positive quantitative values. A diverging palette is a type of color palette that uses two different color ranges to show positive and negative values. For example, a red-green diverging palette uses shades of red for negative values and shades of green for positive values. A diverging palette is automatically applied when there are both negative and positive values for a measure that is placed on Color on the Marks card5 The other options are not correct types of color palettes that Tableau Desktop uses as the default for data with both negative and positive values. A full color range is not a valid term for a color palette in Tableau. A sequential palette is a type of color palette that uses different shades of one color to show variations in a single measure. A sequential palette is usually applied when there are only positive values for a measure that is placed on Color on the Marks card5 A categorical palette is a type of color palette that uses different colors to show discrete values or categories. A categorical palette is usually applied when there is a dimension that is placed on Color on the Marks card5

The default behavior of Tableau when you add a measure to the view is to automatically apply an aggregation to that measure. The type of aggregation applied can vary depending on the context of the view. For example, if no other measures or dimensions affect the measure, Tableau might default to SUM. However, if there are other dimensions in the view that define the level of detail, the aggregation might be different to reflect the context.

According to Tableau's order of operations, the Extract filter is right at the top of the hierarchy. The data filtered in the Extract is then passed on to what we see in the Data Pane. See below:
