A data analyst connects to an Excel file and renames a field from "SalesTotal" to "Total Sales" within the Data pane in Tableau. What is the impact of this action on the original column name in the source Excel file?
The original column name in the Excel file remains unchanged.
The user is prompted to save a new version of the Excel file.
A new column named "Total Sales" is added to the Excel file.
The column name in the Excel file is updated to "Total Sales".
The correct answer is that the original column name in the Excel file remains unchanged. Renaming a field in the Tableau Data pane is a metadata change that only affects how the field is displayed and labeled within the Tableau workbook. It does not alter the column name in the original data source file.
