Tableau Certified Associate Exam — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A dashboard creator wants to allow users to dynamically change the date part for a DATEDIFF calculation (e.g., switch between seeing the difference in days, months, or years) without editing the worksheet. Which Tableau feature is best suited for this requirement?
- A parameter (Correct answer)
- A quick filter
- A set
- A calculated field with a CASE statement
Correct answer: A parameter
A parameter is a workbook variable that can replace a constant value in a calculation. By creating a string parameter with values like 'day', 'month', and 'year', the user can select a value, and this parameter can be used directly in the `DATEDIFF` function's `date_part` argument (e.g., `DATEDIFF([Date Parameter], [Start Date], [End Date])`). This makes the calculation dynamic and user-driven.
Question 2: A dashboard creator wants users to click on a specific state in a map view and be directed to that state's official government website. The URL needs to change dynamically based on the state selected. Which dashboard feature should be configured to achieve this?
- A Filter Action targeting a Web Page object.
- A URL Action that uses the state dimension in the URL string. (Correct answer)
- A Go to Sheet Action that navigates to a different dashboard.
- A Highlight Action to emphasize the selected state.
Correct answer: A URL Action that uses the state dimension in the URL string.
A URL Action is specifically designed to open external web pages. By inserting a dimension, like the state name, into the URL string within the action's configuration, the link becomes dynamic and will direct to a different page for each selected mark.
Question 3: Which LOD expression computes a value at a coarser level of detail than the view, ignoring the dimensions in the view except those listed?
- EXCLUDE
- RAWSQL
- FIXED (Correct answer)
- INCLUDE
Correct answer: FIXED
FIXED computes a value using only the specified dimensions, regardless of any other dimensions in the view.
Question 4: When you add a second data source to a Tableau workbook and link it via data blending, what field acts as the linking key?
- A field you explicitly drag from the secondary source onto the primary source
- A field with the same name that is used in the view from the primary source (Correct answer)
- Any calculated field you define manually
- The first date field found in the secondary source
Correct answer: A field with the same name that is used in the view from the primary source
Data blending automatically uses fields with matching names between the primary and secondary source as the linking key when those fields appear in the view.
Question 5: Which type of set automatically updates its members based on a defined condition?
- Dynamic (computed) set (Correct answer)
- Manual set
- Constant set
- Fixed set
Correct answer: Dynamic (computed) set
A dynamic set updates its members whenever the underlying data meets the condition.
Question 6: In Tableau terminology, what is a 'measure'?
- A text label
- A numeric field that can be aggregated (Correct answer)
- A date hierarchy
- A worksheet tab
Correct answer: A numeric field that can be aggregated
Measures are typically quantitative fields that Tableau aggregates by default.
Question 7: What is the effect of placing a measure on the Size shelf of a symbol map?
- Marks are sized proportionally to the measure (proportional symbol map) (Correct answer)
- It sorts the legend
- It changes the map background
- It filters out data
Correct answer: Marks are sized proportionally to the measure (proportional symbol map)
Putting a measure on Size scales each mark by its value, creating a proportional symbol map.
Question 8: A user has a dataset with thousands of individual customer addresses plotted on a map. Because many customers live close together, the marks overlap significantly, making it difficult to see where the highest concentrations of customers are. Which of the following map types is best suited to clearly visualize these areas of high concentration?
- A spider map (origin-destination map).
- A density map (heatmap). (Correct answer)
- A symbol map with size based on the number of records.
- A filled map using county boundaries.
Correct answer: A density map (heatmap).
A density map, or heatmap, is specifically designed to visualize the concentration of marks in an area, especially when many points overlap. It uses color intensity to represent the number of points, making it easy to identify clusters and hot spots that would be obscured on a standard symbol map.
Question 9: Which function would you use to convert a string '2026-01-15' into a date value in a calculated field?
- ISDATE()
- DATENAME()
- DATEPARSE or DATE (Correct answer)
- STR()
Correct answer: DATEPARSE or DATE
DATE() or DATEPARSE() converts string input into a proper date data type.
Question 10: When connecting Tableau to a flat file (CSV or Excel), how does Tableau determine the data type of each column?
- Tableau uses the operating system's file metadata to determine types
- The user must manually assign all data types before proceeding
- Data types are always imported as strings and must be cast manually
- Tableau scans the first 10,000 rows and infers data types automatically (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Tableau scans the first 10,000 rows and infers data types automatically
Tableau automatically infers column data types by sampling the file's data (typically the first 10,000 rows), though these can be manually overridden in the data source view.
Question 11: Which Tableau component is best for showing geographic data using filled or point maps?
- Bin field
- Geographic role assigned to a field (Correct answer)
- Story point
- Page shelf
Correct answer: Geographic role assigned to a field
Assigning a geographic role to a field lets Tableau plot it on a map automatically.
Question 12: When performing a left join between Table A (orders) and Table B (returns) in Tableau, what appears in the result for orders with no matching return record?
- Those order rows are excluded from the result
- Those order rows appear with NULL values for all return fields (Correct answer)
- Tableau throws an error for unmatched rows
- Return fields default to zero for unmatched rows
Correct answer: Those order rows appear with NULL values for all return fields
In a left join, all rows from the left table (orders) are preserved; where no match exists in the right table, the right table's fields contain NULL.
Question 13: What does a UNION do to data in Tableau?
- Removes duplicate dimensions
- Stacks rows from tables with the same structure (Correct answer)
- Matches columns by key
- Aggregates measures
Correct answer: Stacks rows from tables with the same structure
A union appends rows from tables that share the same fields, increasing row count.
Question 14: What does the calculated field SUM([Sales]) / SUM([Profit]) produce compared to AVG([Sales]/[Profit])?
- Both are row-level
- A syntax error
- An aggregate ratio of totals vs. an average of row ratios (Correct answer)
- Identical results always
Correct answer: An aggregate ratio of totals vs. an average of row ratios
SUM/SUM aggregates first then divides, while AVG of row ratios averages each row's ratio—usually different values.
Question 15: Which Tableau Prep feature suggests grouping similar text values that may be misspellings?
- Output step
- Union
- Group and Replace (fuzzy match) (Correct answer)
- Pivot
Correct answer: Group and Replace (fuzzy match)
Group and Replace can use fuzzy matching to combine similar or misspelled values.
Question 16: Which geographic role would you assign to U.S. five-digit postal codes?
- ZIP Code/Postcode (Correct answer)
- CBSA/MSA
- Area Code
- Congressional District
Correct answer: ZIP Code/Postcode
The ZIP Code/Postcode role maps five-digit U.S. postal codes to coordinates.
Question 17: What is a Tableau 'set'?
- A type of chart
- A custom subset of data defined by conditions or manual selection (Correct answer)
- A server permission
- A scheduled refresh
Correct answer: A custom subset of data defined by conditions or manual selection
Sets are custom fields containing a subset of members based on conditions or selection.
Question 18: What is the function of the Pages shelf in Tableau?
- Break a view into a sequence of pages you can flip or animate through (Correct answer)
- Define permissions
- Set the workbook title
- Add color legends
Correct answer: Break a view into a sequence of pages you can flip or animate through
The Pages shelf splits the view into pages, enabling animation across a dimension.
Question 19: Which of the following best describes the primary difference between a live connection and a Tableau data extract?
- Extracts create a static subset of data, which can improve performance and enable offline work. (Correct answer)
- Live connections are always faster than extracts because they don't require data ingestion.
- Extracts can only be created from file-based data sources like Excel and CSV.
- Live connections store the data within the Tableau workbook file (.twb).
Correct answer: Extracts create a static subset of data, which can improve performance and enable offline work.
A Tableau data extract is a compressed snapshot of the data that is stored locally. This can significantly improve performance by reducing query load on the original data source and allows for analysis even when disconnected from the source. Live connections query the source data directly, which can be slower depending on the source system and network.
Question 20: Which of the following is NOT a supported connector in Tableau Desktop's built-in connector library?
- Salesforce
- Google BigQuery
- Apache Kafka (direct) (Correct answer)
- Amazon Redshift
Correct answer: Apache Kafka (direct)
Tableau does not have a native direct connector for Apache Kafka; connecting to Kafka typically requires a third-party solution or custom integration.
Question 21: An analyst is attempting to map customer locations using a field named 'Postal Code'. When the field is dragged into the view, Tableau does not automatically generate a map. In the Data pane, the field has an 'Abc' icon next to it. What is the most likely first step the analyst should take to resolve this?
- Change the data type of the 'Postal Code' field from 'String' to 'Number (whole)'.
- Drag the 'Country' field into the view before adding 'Postal Code'.
- Create a calculated field to convert the postal codes to integers.
- Right-click the 'Postal Code' field, go to 'Geographic Role', and assign it 'ZIP Code/Postcode'. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Right-click the 'Postal Code' field, go to 'Geographic Role', and assign it 'ZIP Code/Postcode'.
Tableau uses geographic roles to interpret and geocode location data. If a field like 'Postal Code' is not automatically recognized (indicated by the 'Abc' or string icon), the user must manually assign the correct geographic role (e.g., 'ZIP Code/Postcode') so Tableau can generate the necessary latitude and longitude coordinates to create a map.
Question 22: Which approach lets you connect to data without writing custom SQL, using a visual canvas?
- Use only the command line
- Manually type all queries
- Edit the .hyper file directly
- Drag tables onto the data source canvas (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Drag tables onto the data source canvas
The data source canvas lets you drag tables to build joins and relationships visually.
Question 23: What is the recommended way to keep all story points the same size on screen?
- Add more blank objects
- Use Automatic sizing for every sheet
- Set a fixed size for the story and consistent dashboard sizing (Correct answer)
- Disable captions
Correct answer: Set a fixed size for the story and consistent dashboard sizing
Fixed sizing prevents story points from resizing differently as you navigate.
Question 24: What does CASE [Region] WHEN 'East' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END return for a West row?
- 0 (Correct answer)
- 'West'
- 1
- Null
Correct answer: 0
The ELSE branch returns 0 for any region that is not East.
Question 25: What does 'Use as Filter' on a worksheet within a dashboard do?
- Automatically creates a filter action so selections filter other sheets (Correct answer)
- Removes the worksheet
- Disables tooltips
- Converts it to a story
Correct answer: Automatically creates a filter action so selections filter other sheets
Use as Filter quickly generates a filter action making the sheet drive others on selection.
Question 26: You are building a dashboard for specific departments. You want to ensure that each user, upon opening the workbook, sees only the data for their department and cannot view data from other departments. This filter must be applied before any worksheet-level filters. Which type of filter is most appropriate for this requirement?
- A Measure Filter.
- A Data Source Filter. (Correct answer)
- A Dimension Filter on [Department].
- A Context Filter.
Correct answer: A Data Source Filter.
A Data Source Filter is the best choice for this scenario because it restricts the data at the highest level, right after it enters Tableau but before it is used in any worksheet. This ensures the excluded data is not available anywhere in the workbook, making it ideal for row-level security. It is applied before Context, Dimension, or Measure filters.
Question 27: True/False: Two fixed points cannot be used to create a Reference Band.
- B) False (Correct answer)
- A) True
Correct answer: B) False
This statement is False. A Reference Band in Tableau is specifically designed to shade an area between two values on an axis. These two values can indeed be fixed points (constant values), parameters, or computed values from a field, defining the upper and lower boundaries of the band.
Question 28: Which dashboard object lets you display a worksheet so it floats above other content rather than tiling within the grid layout?
- A blank object
- A navigation button
- A tiled container
- A floating layout object (Correct answer)
Correct answer: A floating layout object
Floating layout places an object at fixed coordinates on top of the dashboard, independent of the tiled grid.
Question 29: A 'URL' dashboard action is commonly used to:
- Change the data source
- Create a parameter
- Resize the dashboard
- Open a web page or pass parameters to an external link on selection (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Open a web page or pass parameters to an external link on selection
URL actions launch web links, often embedding field values to build dynamic URLs.
Question 30: An analyst has a scatter plot of customers and a bar chart of product sales on a dashboard. They want to enable a user to select a group of customers on the scatter plot and have the bar chart update to show what percentage of total sales each product contributed for just the selected customers. Which feature provides the most direct and flexible way to achieve this 'IN vs. OUT' analysis?
- A dynamic parameter linked to a filter on the bar chart.
- A Highlight Action to emphasize the relevant products.
- A Set Action that updates a customer set, which is then used in a calculated field. (Correct answer)
- A standard Filter Action that targets the bar chart.
Correct answer: A Set Action that updates a customer set, which is then used in a calculated field.
A Set Action is ideal for this scenario. It can dynamically update the members of a set based on user selection. This 'IN/OUT' status of the set can then be used in a calculated field to perform comparative analysis, such as calculating the percentage of sales for the selected group versus the unselected group.
Question 31: A financial analyst wants to compare the distribution of sales values for four different regions. They are particularly interested in identifying the median, interquartile range, and any potential outliers for each region side-by-side. Which chart type is most suitable for this analysis?
- Scatter Plot
- Histogram
- Bullet Graph
- Box and Whisker Plot (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Box and Whisker Plot
A Box and Whisker Plot is specifically designed to show the distribution of a dataset through a five-number summary: minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum. This makes it ideal for comparing distributions across different categories (like regions) and easily identifying key statistical measures like the median and interquartile range, as well as spotting outliers.
Question 32: To find how many days between two dates in a calculated field, which function is correct?
- DATEDIFF('day', [Start], [End]) (Correct answer)
- DATEPART('day', [End])
- DATEADD('day', [Start], [End])
- DAY([End]) - DAY([Start])
Correct answer: DATEDIFF('day', [Start], [End])
DATEDIFF returns the difference between two dates in the specified unit.
Question 33: A colleague has asked you to share a Tableau workbook that includes all necessary data, custom images, and calculations so they can open and view the dashboard without needing access to the original data source. Which file type should you send them?
- Tableau Data Extract (.hyper)
- Tableau Packaged Workbook (.twbx) (Correct answer)
- Tableau Data Source (.tds)
- Tableau Workbook (.twb)
Correct answer: Tableau Packaged Workbook (.twbx)
A Tableau Packaged Workbook (.twbx) is a zip archive that contains the workbook (.twb) along with any local data sources (like extracts or Excel files) and background images. This makes it a self-contained file ideal for sharing with users who do not have access to the original live data connection.
Question 34: Which of the following best describes 'schema on read' as it applies to Tableau's flexible data model with relationships?
- Schema is defined at extract creation time and locked afterward
- Tableau infers column data types when the file is first opened
- Related tables are only joined when a visualization actually requires fields from both tables (Correct answer)
- Tableau reads schema metadata before any data is loaded
Correct answer: Related tables are only joined when a visualization actually requires fields from both tables
With relationships, Tableau defers joining related tables until a visualization requires fields from multiple tables, dynamically determining the appropriate join at query time.
Question 35: Which formula correctly calculates percent of total using a table calculation in Tableau?
- TOTAL(SUM([Sales])) / SUM([Sales])
- SUM([Sales]) / RUNNING_SUM(SUM([Sales]))
- SUM([Sales]) / TOTAL(SUM([Sales])) (Correct answer)
- PERCENT(SUM([Sales]))
Correct answer: SUM([Sales]) / TOTAL(SUM([Sales]))
Percent of total divides the current value by TOTAL(), which returns the grand total across the partition, giving each row's share as a decimal.
Question 36: A calculated field uses the `ATTR()` function on a dimension, like `ATTR([Customer Name])`. In a visualization, this field returns an asterisk (*). What does this signify?
- The calculation has an error and needs to be corrected.
- The [Customer Name] field is being used as a continuous measure.
- The [Customer Name] field contains a NULL value for the given mark.
- There is more than one distinct [Customer Name] associated with the data for that specific mark in the view. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: There is more than one distinct [Customer Name] associated with the data for that specific mark in the view.
The ATTR() function tests if a field has a single, unique value within the context of the mark. If MIN(dimension) = MAX(dimension), it returns that value. If there are multiple different values, it returns an asterisk (*) to indicate this.
Question 37: A best practice for dashboard performance with many interactive filters is to:
- Add more worksheets
- Float every object
- Increase the dashboard pixel size
- Use context filters or extract filters to reduce the data scanned (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Use context filters or extract filters to reduce the data scanned
Context or extract filters narrow the dataset so interactive filters run faster.
Question 38: What does the calculated field WINDOW_AVG(SUM([Sales])) compute?
- The average of SUM(Sales) across the window of marks (Correct answer)
- The median
- The row-level average
- A FIXED grand total
Correct answer: The average of SUM(Sales) across the window of marks
WINDOW_AVG averages the aggregated measure over a defined window of marks in the view.
Question 39: Which of the following describes a scenario where data blending is preferred over a join in Tableau?
- When you want to append rows from a second source to the first
- When both tables are in the same database and share a common key
- When you need to combine data from two different data sources at different levels of granularity (Correct answer)
- When you need a full outer join between two Excel files
Correct answer: When you need to combine data from two different data sources at different levels of granularity
Data blending is ideal when combining data from different sources at different granularities, as it aggregates the secondary source before linking, avoiding row duplication issues from joins.
Question 40: Which Tableau tool is purpose-built for cleaning and shaping data before analysis?
- Tableau Prep Builder (Correct answer)
- Tableau Mobile
- Tableau Reader
- Tableau Public
Correct answer: Tableau Prep Builder
Tableau Prep Builder provides a visual workflow for cleaning, combining, and shaping data.
Question 41: Which shelf in Tableau is used to subdivide the view into rows and columns of a grid?
- Filters shelf
- Marks card
- Rows and Columns shelves (Correct answer)
- Pages shelf
Correct answer: Rows and Columns shelves
Placing fields on the Rows and Columns shelves builds the structure of the visualization.
Question 42: A business analyst is working with an Excel spreadsheet that contains multiple sub-tables, titles, and footers. When connecting this file to Tableau, the data appears disorganized. Which Tableau feature should the analyst use to automatically identify and clean the dataset?
- Data Interpreter (Correct answer)
- Pivot
- Relationships
- Data Blending
Correct answer: Data Interpreter
The Data Interpreter in Tableau is designed to clean data from sources like Excel, CSV, and Google Sheets. It can automatically detect and bypass extraneous information such as titles, notes, footers, and empty cells to identify the actual fields and values in the dataset.
Question 43: In the order of operations, where do FIXED LOD expressions get evaluated relative to dimension filters?
- After dimension filters
- Before dimension filters (Correct answer)
- After table calculations
- Same time as measure filters
Correct answer: Before dimension filters
FIXED LODs are computed before dimension filters are applied, so those filters do not affect them unless added to context.
Question 44: What does the LOD {INCLUDE [Product]: AVG([Sales])} produce when placed in a view by Region?
- Sales per row
- Average sales computed per product, then averaged up to region (Correct answer)
- A grand total
- Total sales per region
Correct answer: Average sales computed per product, then averaged up to region
INCLUDE [Product] computes the average at product grain first, then aggregates to the region level in the view.
Question 45: When Tableau detects an ambiguous relationship (a many-to-many relationship between two tables), what is the recommended best practice?
- Convert the relationship to a cross-database join
- Use data blending instead to avoid the issue
- Create a bridge or junction table to resolve the many-to-many relationship (Correct answer)
- Add a LOD expression to handle the extra rows
Correct answer: Create a bridge or junction table to resolve the many-to-many relationship
Many-to-many relationships should be resolved by introducing a bridge/junction table that breaks the relationship into two one-to-many relationships, preventing row duplication.
Question 46: Which Tableau analytic feature groups marks into segments based on similarity of their values?
- Trend lines
- Forecasting
- Reference bands
- Clustering (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Clustering
Tableau's clustering uses k-means to group marks into segments with similar characteristics.
Question 47: Which is true about COUNTD inside a FIXED LOD versus in the view?
- FIXED COUNTD can give correct distinct counts unaffected by view dimensions (Correct answer)
- It ignores the dimension list
- COUNTD is not allowed in LODs
- It always equals COUNT
Correct answer: FIXED COUNTD can give correct distinct counts unaffected by view dimensions
Using COUNTD within a FIXED LOD computes distinct counts at the specified grain independent of the view.
Question 48: When connecting to a CSV in Tableau, which setting controls how text is divided into fields?
- Color legend
- Mark type
- Field separator (delimiter) (Correct answer)
- Tooltip
Correct answer: Field separator (delimiter)
The field separator defines the delimiter used to break each line into columns.
Question 49: What happens when you place an LOD expression result on the Color shelf in a continuous form?
- It is treated as a measure and can be aggregated (Correct answer)
- It throws an error
- It becomes a discrete dimension automatically
- It cannot be visualized
Correct answer: It is treated as a measure and can be aggregated
An aggregated LOD acts like a measure and can be placed on shelves and aggregated as usual.
Question 50: What is the effect of selecting 'Hide All Unused Fields' when publishing a data source in Tableau?
- Hides fields not currently used in any workbook sheet, reducing clutter for consumers (Correct answer)
- Removes fields from extracts to reduce file size automatically
- Permanently deletes unused fields from the source database
- Prevents other users from adding new fields to the data source
Correct answer: Hides fields not currently used in any workbook sheet, reducing clutter for consumers
'Hide All Unused Fields' hides fields that aren't actively used in any sheets, making the published data source easier to navigate without deleting data.
Question 51: What is the purpose of the 'Edit Locations' dialog in Tableau?
- To resolve unrecognized or ambiguous geographic values (Correct answer)
- To export the workbook
- To change the chart color
- To add a calculated field
Correct answer: To resolve unrecognized or ambiguous geographic values
Edit Locations lets you match ambiguous or unknown place names to the correct geographic location.
Question 52: What is the purpose of a dual-axis chart in Tableau?
- Join two data sources
- Split the dashboard into two pages
- Overlay two measures on the same chart using two synchronized or independent axes (Correct answer)
- Create two separate workbooks
Correct answer: Overlay two measures on the same chart using two synchronized or independent axes
Dual-axis charts plot two measures together, often combining chart types in one view.
Question 53: Which mark type is automatically selected when Tableau first builds a map from a geographic field?
- Bar
- Map (filled) or Automatic, defaulting based on the geographic role (Correct answer)
- Line
- Gantt
Correct answer: Map (filled) or Automatic, defaulting based on the geographic role
Tableau chooses a map-appropriate mark automatically based on the geographic role of the field used.
Question 54: In Tableau, what does 'pivoting' columns do in the data source view?
- Converts multiple columns into two fields: a field name column and a value column (Correct answer)
- Aggregates numeric columns into a summary row
- Transposes rows into columns to widen the dataset
- Joins a table to itself on a different column
Correct answer: Converts multiple columns into two fields: a field name column and a value column
Pivoting in Tableau transforms wide-format data by converting selected columns into a 'Pivot Field Names' column and a 'Pivot Field Values' column, making the data taller and more analysis-friendly.
Question 55: Which Marks type is best for showing geographic data with filled regions?
- Line
- Filled Map (Correct answer)
- Bar
- Gantt
Correct answer: Filled Map
A filled (choropleth) map shades geographic areas by a measure.
Question 56: When using custom SQL in Tableau, what is one important performance consideration?
- Custom SQL is only supported for live connections
- Custom SQL bypasses Tableau's query optimization and can result in slower performance (Correct answer)
- Tableau cannot create extracts from custom SQL sources
- Custom SQL always runs faster than native table connections
Correct answer: Custom SQL bypasses Tableau's query optimization and can result in slower performance
Custom SQL is sent as a subquery to the database, which may prevent the database's query optimizer from applying its full optimizations, potentially slowing performance.
Question 57: When setting the size of a Tableau dashboard, what is the primary behavior of the 'Automatic' sizing option?
- It provides pixel-perfect control over the placement of all dashboard objects.
- It is the most performant option as Tableau Server does not need to render different sizes.
- It maintains a fixed aspect ratio, adding white space if the screen dimensions do not match.
- It resizes the dashboard's height and width to completely fill the available screen space. (Correct answer)
Correct answer: It resizes the dashboard's height and width to completely fill the available screen space.
The 'Automatic' sizing option causes the dashboard to scale to fit the window or screen it is being viewed on. This can be unpredictable, as it may alter the dashboard's proportions and layout to fill the space, which can sometimes lead to distortion.
Question 58: Which function lets you reference a value from a previous row in a table calculation?
- INDEX()
- FIRST()
- LOOKUP() (Correct answer)
- PREVIOUS_VALUE()
Correct answer: LOOKUP()
LOOKUP returns the value of an expression offset from the current row in the partition.
Question 59: Which is the best object to add explanatory instructions for end users directly on a dashboard?
- Web Page object
- Text object (Correct answer)
- Filter action
- Extension object
Correct answer: Text object
A Text object lets you place formatted instructions or context anywhere on the dashboard.
Question 60: Which Tableau object lets you assemble multiple worksheets onto a single canvas for combined viewing?
- Bin
- Dashboard (Correct answer)
- Extract
- Data source
Correct answer: Dashboard
A dashboard arranges multiple worksheets and objects on one canvas.
