Tableau Desktop Certified Professional — Question 49

Which action describes the process for changing a measure so that it automatically aggregates an average instead of a sum?

Answer options

• A. Right-click the field in the Data pane and select Change Data Type to change it.
• B. Add the field to the view, right-click the axis, and select Format to change it.
• C. Right-click and drag the field into the view to change it.
• D. Right-click the field in the Data pane and select Default Properties to change it.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct action to set a measure to average by default is to right-click the field in the Data pane and select Default Properties. The other options do not change the aggregation method to average; they either change data types, format visualizations, or perform actions unrelated to setting default properties.
