Tableau Desktop Certified Professional — Question 86

What are two uses of a Tableau Data Source (.tds) file? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. To use a data connection in multiple workbooks
• B. To share custom fields added to the Data pane
• C. To save custom fields added to the data source
• D. To share data connections to Tableau Public

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The correct answers are A and B because a Tableau Data Source (.tds) file allows users to use a data connection in multiple workbooks and share any custom fields that have been added to the Data pane. Options C and D are incorrect; while a .tds file does save custom fields, it does not specifically facilitate sharing data connections to Tableau Public.
