Tableau Desktop Foundations Practice Question

Tableau has classified the numeric field "Product ID" as a Number (measure). You need Tableau to treat this field as a text identifier so it will never be summed, averaged, or otherwise aggregated. Which action will change the data type of the field from Number to String?

  • Create a new calculated field using STR([Product ID]) to convert the values to text.

  • Click the data-type icon next to the field name in the Data pane and select "String".

  • Drag the field from the Measures section to the Dimensions section in the Data pane.

  • Right-click the field and choose "Aliases" to assign text labels to the numeric values.
