A data analyst wants to modify a worksheet to display data for only the "Technology" product category. What is the most common and direct method to apply this filter to the entire view in Tableau?
Create a new calculated field to isolate the 'Technology' data.
Drag the 'Category' dimension to the Filters shelf and select 'Technology'.
Drag the 'Category' dimension to the Pages shelf.
Create a new set that includes only the 'Technology' category.
The most direct way to filter data in a Tableau view is by dragging the relevant dimension, in this case, 'Category', to the Filters shelf. This action opens a dialog box where the user can select the specific members to include or exclude, such as selecting only 'Technology'. The other options describe actions that serve different purposes. Dragging a dimension to the Pages shelf creates a series of separate pages for each member of the dimension, which is used for animation or stepping through views, not for filtering a single static view. Creating a calculated field is a less direct method that involves writing a formula before it can be used as a filter. Creating a set is also an indirect method; while sets can be used for filtering, the primary step is still to use the Filters shelf.
