Tableau Desktop Certified Professional — Question 57

What is the default behavior of Tableau when you add a measure to the view?

Answer options

• A. An aggregation is applied that varies depending on the context of the view.
• B. You are prompted to add an aggregation.
• C. The measure is added disaggregated.
• D. An aggregation is applied that is independent of the context of the view.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because Tableau automatically applies an aggregation method that changes based on the context of the data being viewed. Option B is incorrect since Tableau does not prompt for aggregation; it applies it automatically. Option C is wrong because the measure is aggregated by default, not disaggregated. Option D is also incorrect as the aggregation is context-dependent, not independent.
