Tableau Desktop Specialist — Question 85

When should a Data Analyst use a Treemap in Tableau?

Answer options

• A. To display hierarchical data with nested categories
• B. To show the correlation between two continuous variables
• C. To visualize the change in a measure across different regions in a map
• D. To analyze the distribution of a measure over time

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A Treemap is ideal for representing hierarchical data because it allows for the visualization of nested categories through area size. Options B, C, and D do not pertain to hierarchical data; they focus on correlation, geographical change, and temporal distribution, respectively, which are not suitable uses for a Treemap.
