Tableau Desktop Specialist — Question 100

A Data Analyst has created a Tableau Prep flow that is ready to be used. The output will be used by a colleague to build a dashboard on Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server.

Where should the analyst output the data to?

Answer options

• A. Salesforce Data Cloud
• B. CRM Analytics
• C. A Tableau data extract file
• D. A published data source

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as publishing the data source allows colleagues to access it directly from Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server for dashboard creation. Options A and B are not appropriate for this purpose, as they pertain to different platforms. Option C, while a valid output type, does not facilitate direct access on Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server like a published data source does.
