An analyst is on the Data Source page in Tableau and needs to combine data from 'Orders' and 'Returns' tables. To create a flexible relationship that preserves each table's level of detail, what is the most direct method to establish the connection?
Select 'Edit Blend Relationship' from the Data menu and add a custom mapping between the tables.
Drag the 'Returns' table directly underneath the 'Orders' table until the 'Union' box appears.
Open the join canvas and select 'Create Join Calculation' to manually script the connection.
Drag the 'Returns' table onto the canvas next to the 'Orders' table to create a relationship noodle.
The correct way to create a relationship on the Data Source page is to drag the second table onto the canvas next to the first one, which creates a connecting line called a 'noodle'. Dragging a table underneath the first one creates a union, which appends rows. Using the 'Edit Blend Relationship' option is for data blending, which is configured from the Data menu on a worksheet, not the Data Source page canvas. 'Create Join Calculation' is a more advanced option used within the physical layer (join canvas) rather than the primary method for creating a relationship in the logical layer.
