Tableau Desktop Foundations Practice Question

While examining a worksheet, you decide to combine three individual State headers into a single State group that will be available in other sheets. Which action accomplishes this with the fewest steps?

Ctrl-click the three State headers in the view, right-click one header, and select Group.
Convert State to a measure, add a grand total, and right-click the total to form a group.
Create a parameter from the State field and use it to group the selected States.
Shift-drag the three State marks onto the Filters shelf and choose Grouped values.

Answer Description

Grouping by selecting headers directly in the view is the quickest workflow. When you Ctrl-click (or Command-click on macOS) the three State headers, right-click one of them, and choose Group, Tableau creates a new discrete field that appears in the Data pane. Because the group is saved as a dimension in the data source, it can be reused on any worksheet that uses that source. The other options either do not create a group, involve filters or parameters, or attempt to group measures, none of which meet the requirement.
