Tableau Desktop Foundations Practice Question

While examining the Data pane, you need to decide whether to treat a field as a dimension or a measure. Which statement accurately describes how Tableau differentiates the two when you drag them into a new blank worksheet?

  • Measures generate discrete headers by default, while dimensions generate continuous axes.

  • Dimensions are displayed as blue pills and are aggregated using SUM by default.

  • Dimensions are categorical fields that are added without aggregation, whereas measures are aggregated (for example, SUM) until you specify otherwise.

  • Measures can only be string or Boolean fields, while dimensions must always be numeric.

Settings & Objectives
Random Mixed
Questions are selected randomly from all chosen topics, with a preference for those you haven’t seen before. You may see several questions from the same objective or domain in a row.
Rotate by Objective
Questions cycle through each objective or domain in turn, helping you avoid long streaks of questions from the same area. You may see some repeat questions, but the distribution will be more balanced across topics.

Check or uncheck an objective to set which questions you will receive.
