Is it possible to deploy a URL action on a dashboard object to open a Web Page within a dashboard rather than opening the system’s web browser?
Correct Answer:C
To interactively display information from the web INSIDE a dashboard, you can use a URL action with a web page object.
For example, you might have a dashboard that shows profits by country. In addition to showing the profit data in your dashboard, you also want to display supplemental information about the countries from a web site.

For creating variable sized bins we use ______
Correct Answer:A
One way to view a measure in Tableau Desktop is to split it into bins. You can think of bins as buckets based on a range of values. For example, say you have a measure that represents age. Instead of aggregating the measure to calculate the average age, you can bin the measure to define age groups: 0–5, 6–10, 11–15, and so on. Then you can count the number of people in each age group.
Create a calculated field for variable bin size Step 1
Select Analysis > Create Calculated Field. Step 2
In the Calculated Field dialog box, complete the following steps:

Suppose I have the following view. What will be the total number of marks if I drag a new measure to the row shelf vs the column shelf?
Correct Answer:A
This is a tricky question often asked in the exam.
If we drag a new measure to the row shelf, the following happens:
We now have 2 rows, and the same 7 columns for both these rows. Therefore, 2x7 = 14 marks!
But if we drag the same measure to the column shelf, we have just 1 row and a chart created for each of the columns. So (1x7) = 7 marks!
