We can use scatter plots to visualizerelationshipsbetween numerical variables!

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.

A scatter plot can use several mark types. By default, Tableau uses the shape mark type. Depending on your data, you might want to use another mark type, such as a circle or a square. For more information, seeChange the Type of Mark in the View.

To create a scatter plot, follow the steps below:

This is one of the most common questions on the Tableau Desktop Specialist Exam.

Wrong options -

1) Don't use backgrounds -This is not a solution. What if we want to use backgrounds? We can't just stop using backgrounds to solve this problem.

2) Decrease the font size -Do you think using a smaller font will make the text more readable? No right? Hence, this is wrong too.

All other options are ways recommended to make your text more readable!

It is very much possible to specify the formatting at aWORKBOOKlevel (all sheets) instead of a single worksheet level.

You can quickly change how fonts, titles, and lines look in every view in a workbook by specifying format settings at the workbook level, instead of the worksheet level.

For example, you might want to use a specific font, size, and color so that all views adhere to your company's brand. You might also want to remove grid lines from your views---or make them more noticeable by increasing their pixel size or color.

You can also change the theme used by your workbook. Themes control items like the default font, colors, and line thickness. When you create a new workbook, it automatically uses the Default theme, which uses visual best practices.

Change fonts in your workbook:

You can change all fonts in your workbook or you can change fonts for only certain areas, such as just worksheet titles.

1) On the Format menu, select Workbook.

2) The Format Workbook pane replaces the Data pane on the left and provides a series of drop-down lists where you can change all font settings in a workbook, as well as the font settings for titles of worksheets, stories, and dashboards.

Note:If you have made font changes at the worksheet level, such as on a filter card or a worksheet title, changing the font at the WORKBOOK level will overwrite those changes.

Reset a workbook to its default settings

When you make changes to your workbook's font settings, a gray dot appears next to the setting in the Format Workbook pane. You can quickly switch back to default settings using the Reset to Defaults button.

1) On the Format menu, select Workbook.

2) In the Format Workbook pane, click Reset to Defaults.

Measures contain numeric quantitative values hence that option is incorrect.

The only incorrect option is - Click on Dashboard in the Menu bar, select Tooltip, and then use the italics option.

This option doesn't exist. See below:

The rest of the options do exist, and therefore are correct:

From the official Tableaudocumentation:

As we can see below, Bar charts can be used as a floating object.

Only 1 option is correct -

Click on Dashboard in the Menu bar followed by Copy Image

Right click on the dashboard, and choose Copy, then image -Try doing this, you will end up copying just one of the worksheets not the entire dashboard

Click on Worksheet in the Menu bar followed by Export, then choose Image -Again, try doing this. You will end up copying just one of the worksheets not the entire dashboard

Using the floating export worksheet option on the Dashboard -No such option exists

All are correct, except - Copy of any local file-based data. This is contained in a .tdsx file (Tableau Packaged Data Source)!

According to the official documentation -

Important question! If you selected Dimension and Measure, don't worry! It is a very common mistake. But we're here to learn aren't we?

When you connect to a new data source, Tableau assigns each field in the data source as dimension or measure in the Data pane, depending on the type of data the field contains. You use these fields to build views of your data.
