Scaled isNOTa valid size options when creating Dashboards in Tableau!

After you create a dashboard, you might need to resize and reorganize it to work better for your users.

Paddinglets you precisely space items on dashboard, while borders and background colors let you visually highlight them.Inner paddingsets the spacing between item contents and the perimeter of the border and background color;outer paddingprovides additional spacing beyond the border and background color.

1) Right click on Rows or Columns, and choose format. In the Font option click on Bold. (CORRECT) - this will modify only the selected axis (row or column)

2) Choose Format then Font from the Menu bar, and select Bold under the Header option (INCORRECT) - this modifies both rows and columns at the same time

3) Choose Format from the Menu bar, select Row or Column, and then select Bold under the header option (CORRECT) - this will modify only the selected axis (row or column)

4) Select Text Label on the Marks Card, choose Rows or Columns, and then select Bold. (INCORRECT) - no such option exists

Layout containerslet you group related dashboard items together so you can quickly position them. As you change the size and placement of items inside a container, other container items automatically adjust

By default, all filters that you set in Tableau are computedindependently. That is, each filter accesses all rows in your data source without regard to other filters. However, you can set one or more categorical filters as context filters for the view.You can think of a context filter as being an independent filter (Option stating - To create a dependent filter eliminated here).Any other filters that you set are defined as dependent filters because they process only the data that passes through the context filter.

You may create a context filter to:

1) Improve performance --If you set a lot of filters or have a large data source, the queries can be slow. You can set one or more context filters to improve performance.

2) Create a dependent numerical or top N filter --You can set a context filter to include only the data of interest, and then set a numerical or a top N filter.

For example, suppose you're in charge of breakfast products for a large grocery chain. Your task is to find the top 10 breakfast products by profitability for all stores. If the data source isvery large, you can set a context filter to includeonlybreakfast products. Then you can create a top 10 filter by profit as a dependent filter, which would process only the data that passes through the context filter.

Lot of students have been seeing this question in the exam lately, and wanted me to include this question so here it is. Follow along -

1) Click on Worksheet in the Menu bar, followed by Tooltip and select the bold option

2) Click on Tooltip in the Marks card, and select bold.

3) Right click, click format and then under the default worksheet formatting, choose Tooltip and make it bold.

There exists no option to Bold the tooltip contents by clicking Analysis. Hence, it is an incorrect choice.

In fact, the opposite of this is true.

Trick :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. This allows you to focus on using your data and revealing insights from it and focus less on the data preparation aspect!

Refer to logical layer vs physical layer from the official documentation:https://help.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/datasource_datamodel.htm

From the official documentation:

When you have a view with a large amount of data you might want to explore your data interactively andhighlight a specific mark or group of marks while still maintaining the context of where those marks show in your view.

To do this you can turn on the Highlighter for one or more discrete fields that are included in your view and that affect the level of detail

Example -Here we just want to focus on Public Affairs college dimension, but don't want to filter out or remove the rest of the data:

Note that filtering is not the correct option since that wouldREMOVEthe data that doesn't match the filtering criteria.
