Set Control
Answers
Suggested answer: D

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.

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Using the Sample superstore as a reference:

1) Let's plot a bar chart showing SUM(Quantity) for each Segment:

2) Right click on the x-axis (Segment):

Notice we don't have an option to edit the axis, only header. This is because only continous values form the AXIS.

3) Similarly, right click on the y-axis (Quantity):

Now we have the option to edit BOTH the axis and the header.

2) Right click on the x-axis (Segment):

Notice we don't have an option to edit the axis, only header. This is because only continous values form the AXIS.

3) Similarly, right click on the y-axis (Quantity):

Now we have the option to edit BOTH the axis and the header.

Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

According to the official Tableau documentation:

Dimensions don't have aggregation properties, and adding properties manually each time defeats the whole DEFAULT aggregation purpose. Window tab doesn't have any default aggregation option!

Data Blending
Answers
Suggested answer: D

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.

Answers
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

In Tableau, you can aggregate measures or dimensions, though it is more common to aggregate measures. Whenever you add a measure to your view, an aggregation is applied to that measure by default. The type of aggregation applied varies depending on the context of the view.

When you add a measure to the view, Tableau automatically aggregates its values. Sum, average, and median are common aggregations; for a complete list, see List of Predefined Aggregations in Tableau.

The current aggregation appears as part of the measure's name in the view. For example, Sales becomes SUM(Sales). Every measure has a default aggregation which is set by Tableau when you connect to a data source. You can view or change the default aggregation for a measure---see Set the Default Aggregation for a Measure.

You can change the aggregation for a measure in the view from its context menu:
