Tableau Desktop Certified Professional — Question 18

What are two ways that dimensions and measures are different? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Dimensions can be used in calculated fields and measures cannot
• B. Measures are aggregated and dimensions are not
• C. Dimensions affect the level of detail of a visualization and measures do not
• D. Measures can be used as filters and dimensions cannot

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answers are B and C because measures are indeed aggregated data points, while dimensions provide context without aggregation. Option A is incorrect as both dimensions and measures can be included in calculated fields depending on the context, and D is wrong because dimensions can also be used as filters in many situations.
