Using the dataset, create a bar chart showing the average Quantity broken down by Region, and filtered by Country to only show Japan. What was the average Quantity in the State of Tokyo?
- A. 3.500
- B. 3.000
- C. 3.704
- D. 3.840
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Since we need to focus on 1 country -> Japan, let's filter on it first as follows:
1) Drag Country to the filter shelf, and choose only Japan. Click OK.
2) Read the Question Carefully, we need to break down the visualisation by Region, then by Country, and then by State. So let's do that:
Drag Region to the column shelf, followed by Country. Drill down into Country to include states as well.
Then drag Quantity to the Row Shelf, and change the Aggregation to AVERAGE.
The following is our visualisation:
Now that you think of it, EVEN IF YOU REMOVE THE REGION, THE ANSWER REMAINS THE SAME.
Such elements will be present in the actual exam too, just to make the question sound a little difficult, but actually it is pretty straightforward :)

Now the chart looks like this:
Now we change the Profit chart type to line:

5) Finally, we synchronise the axis as follows: Right click on the axis, and choose 'Synchronise axis'
And, our final view and answer is:

NEW QUESTION 98
Suppose you have a bar chart. When we group by labels in a view, which of the following happens?
- A. Trick question! It is not possible to group by labels.

If we select the labels in the view and then group, a new consolidated mark is created - in our case bar since we are talking about a bar chart in the question. See below:
Then on grouping, a new bar is created, and the colour of all bars remain the same.
Had we grouped by choosing the marks instead of the labels, the following would be the result:

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 102
_________________ 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 Joining
- D. Data segregation
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 105
True or False: We can disaggregate the data, to see all of the marks in the view at the most detailed level of granularity
- A. True
- B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Whenever you add a measure to your view, an aggregation is applied to that measure by default. This default is controlled by the Aggregate Measures setting in the Analysis menu.
If you decide you want to see all of the marks in the view at the most detailed level of granularity, you can disaggregate the view. Disaggregating your data means that Tableau will display a separate mark for every data value in every row of your data source.
To disaggregate all measures in the view:
Clear the Analysis >Aggregate Measures option. If it is already selected, click Aggregate Measures once to deselect it.

NEW QUESTION 109
Which of the following charts types always includes bars sorted in descending order?
- A. Stacked Bar Chart
- B. Pareto Chart
- C. Pie Chart
- D. Gantt Chart
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
A Pareto chart is a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the ascending cumulative total is represented by the line.
On the primary axis, bars are used to show the raw quantities for each dimension member, sorted in descending order.
On the secondary axis, a line graph is used to show the cumulative total in percent format.
NEW QUESTION 110
Yes or No: The number of marks will increase when you increase the number of Dimensions in a view
- A. No
- B. Yes
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
Of course! As an example, see below:
1) Using the Sample Superstore data, let's plot a bar chart showing the Sales for each Category:
Observe that we have 3 marks - Each bar in a bar chart is called a mark. Similarly, each point in a scatter plot is also a mark , and so on for all charts.
1 row by 3 columns means that clearly on the y-axis (Sales), we have only a single mark - a single continous axis, but 3 different marks (Technology, Furniture and Office supplies ) on the x-axis.
2) Now let's add subcategory to the view as well (another dimension):
Observe that the number of marks has increased - i.e the number of Bars.
Also, notice we now have 1 row and 17 columns. Simply because 1 row = Sales (on the y-axis), and on the x-axis, we have 17 different columns (i.e product sub categories!!)
