Tableau Quiz 3

Files, products and Tableau Server basics.

  1. Which file type contains layout information but no data?

    1. .twbx
    2. .twb
    3. .tdsx
    4. .hyper

    Answer: .twb — A .twb is an XML document holding the workbook definition; it contains no data.

  2. Which file type would you send to someone with no access to your data source?

    1. .twb
    2. .twbx
    3. .tds
    4. .tms

    Answer: .twbx — A packaged workbook zips the workbook together with the local data and resources.

  3. A .tds file saves:

    1. The data itself
    2. Connection information without the data
    3. A single worksheet
    4. A colour palette

    Answer: Connection information without the data — A Tableau Datasource saves the connection, joins and field customisations, not the rows.

  4. Which file would you edit to define a custom colour palette?

    1. .twb
    2. .tds
    3. .tps
    4. .tbm

    Answer: .tps — Preferences.tps in My Tableau Repository is a plain XML file you can edit.

  5. Tableau Reader is:

    1. A paid server product
    2. A free application for interacting with packaged workbooks
    3. The extract engine
    4. A mobile app only

    Answer: A free application for interacting with packaged workbooks — Reader lets anyone open and interact with .twbx files created in Desktop.

  6. Which product is used to distribute interactive workbooks to an audience?

    1. Tableau Desktop
    2. Tableau Server
    3. Tableau Reader
    4. Tableau Prep

    Answer: Tableau Server — Desktop authors; Server distributes and lets users interact online.

  7. What is true of Tableau Public?

    1. It is for corporate data
    2. Anyone can view and download published workbooks
    3. It supports live database connections
    4. It has no size limit

    Answer: Anyone can view and download published workbooks — Public is a free, public-domain service — never use it for corporate data.

  8. What are Extracts in Tableau Server?

    1. Live database connections
    2. Copies or subsets of the source data imported into Tableau
    3. Published dashboards
    4. User permission sets

    Answer: Copies or subsets of the source data imported into Tableau — Extracts are imported into the Tableau engine, which makes workbooks faster than live connections.

  9. Why do you need a scheduled refresh?

    1. To publish the workbook
    2. Because extracts do not update on their own
    3. To grant permissions
    4. To enable filters

    Answer: Because extracts do not update on their own — Without a schedule the extract keeps serving the data captured at publish time.

  10. Which platforms can Tableau Server run on?

    1. Windows only
    2. Windows and Linux
    3. macOS only
    4. Any browser
