While configuring an extract in Tableau Desktop, you want to reduce the extract size by summarizing the data at the level that appears in your worksheets. Which setting in the Extract Data dialog should you enable to achieve this?
The setting named "Aggregate for visible dimensions" tells Tableau to collapse the underlying rows down to the dimensions that are currently used in the view and then store only the aggregated results in the .hyper file. Because far fewer rows are written, the extract is smaller and refreshes more quickly. Options like "Include hidden fields", "Use Data Interpreter", or "Enforce referential integrity" do not perform row aggregation; they either add additional metadata to the extract or prepare the data in other ways, so they would not significantly shrink the file through summarization.
