Hello Vizards, I’m Sateesh Kumar, a Tableau Consultant living in Sydney, Australia. You
can connect me on Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sateeshkumar/). I’ve
started my career in 2006 as a SAP Business Objects intern and worked up my way to
Tableau Architect. I share my Data visualization/Storytelling and Tableau knowledge at
Vizard (https://vizard.co/). I wrote this Tableau Interview Questions guide based on
my personal experience.

I’ve been on both sides of the table, as an interviewee and also as an interviewer. I
have put together this comprehensive Tableau Interview Question and Answers guide
to help anyone attending Tableau interviews to succeed.

How it all Started:

Few people in my Linkedin network started asking me how to answer some Tableau
interview questions and I patiently explained everyone. But when I noticed an
increase in requests, I thought to myself this is not going to scale, and then I put up a
post asking if anyone was interested in the Tableau Interview Questions guide I was
putting

Not in my wildest dreams did I expect such a terrific response to my Linkedin post
(https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6379554751662649344)
(530k+ reach, 4000+ likes, and comments).

I originally intended to document my own Tableau interview questions experience

(being a contractor I attend 10X more interviews than an employee would). But the
terrific Linkedin post response brought me a new responsibility to meet your
expectations so I started beeping up the content.

I dug the internet to find relevant content, gone through word by word to curate the
best content (credited links and references) to make it more relevant, updated and
useful for you.

The result of 130+ hours of time and effort and 28 versions of the document is this
comprehensive guide covering 200+ Tableau interview questions consisting of Tableau
technical, data visualization, behavioral, thought process, Client communication, HR,
and culture fit questions to give you a complete 360-degree interview experience.

Note: This is a massive 22,000-word Tableau Interview

Questions guide which might take few hours to read. For your
convenience, I’ve put together the complete guide (article has
only 112 technical questions, pdf has all 210) in a handy pdf

Preface:

There’s no way to predict what Tableau Interview Questions you’ll be asked. Also, it’s
not possible to give a script for every scenario since every individual’s experience,
situation, interviewer experience, and project requirement is different.

You find direct answers to technical questions below. But for HR/Behavioral/Culture
fit/thought process questions (in the pdf) you may find guidelines how to answer
them based on my own experience. Please prepare answers to those questions using
those guidelines and find your own voice.

Answers below represents my own experience and thoughts, but not related to any of
my employers or Tableau.com (http://Tableau.com).

While I tried my level best to write accurate answers, inadvertently I would have
missed or incorrectly answered a few. Appreciate if you can email me [email protected]
(mailto:[email protected]) so I can correct them.

Preparation tips:

Be at least 20 to 30 minutes early to the Tableau interview place so you are

comfortable, calm and relaxed. While waiting in the lobby, take this opportunity to find

The point is, use that observation to spark a conversation when you meet and greet
the interviewer. This trick not only helped me to start the pep talk but also made both
of us comfortable to begin the interview on a positive note and keep the conversation
going.

Before every interview, be prepared with the scenarios below.

 When you’re asked a question, take a deep breath — think and recollect the
situations you would have faced. It’s ok to take a moment to think and answer
the question.

 Have a thorough understanding of what you mentioned in your resume and

projects. They might ask you some deeper questions related to what you
mentioned.

 You might also be asked if you know anything about their company. And, you will
definitely get brownie points for researching about the company. This shows that
you’re keen on the role.

 Research about the company, their growth, any recent news, products/services
they offer, role advertised and any associated information.

 It is good to read up on the job requirements and responsibilities so that you can
align your answers based on what they are seeking.

 Check the interviewer LinkedIn profile, you get an idea of their work experience,
their role and you could guess the type of questions you might expect.Show that
you are confident the way you speak, listen and even sit.

 Draw on personal experiences and projects. Shows that you’re experienced.

 Admit to not knowing something and politely ask for the answer.

 Focus on identifying the problem instead of getting straight to the solution.

 Share relevant information instead of talking too much in detail about

everything.

 Express towards the end that you’re very much interested in the role.

What do clients look for in a Tableau interview or at the job?

https://vizard.co/tableau-interview-questions/ 6/45
4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

We all intend to deliver our best work to the client once we join them, but how can
you prove your worth even before you start working for them? how can you
differentiate yourself from the rest of the candidates? that’s where you have an
opportunity to shine in the interview.

You have to demonstrate and convince the interviewer you are worth hiring by
providing value upfront during the interview. Your job at this point is to show your
prospect client/employer how hiring you will result in them making more money or
save money (or whatever the net result of your work is).

You need to STAND OUT in the interview. You need to blow their minds.

From my experience, counter-intuitively companies will not hire you for your ability to
build dashboards/ your data visualization skills alone (although that’s important as
part of your job), they hire you “expecting you to solve business problems for them”.
That’s their underlying intention.

Regardless of your level of experience or skills, your client/interviewer wants to know

“what value can you bring to the table”. I have over a decade experience, I know
X Y Z tools, I’m a great learner, I love cats etc are great to know, but what is the
“value you can bring to the table”?

It’s not about you and your skills, it’s about them (company, client, their
products/services, their business).

I’m stressing this because this is often overlooked and so important to get the best
outcomes in the interview/ project and great client relationship.

You have to zoom out a little bit and start looking at the forest for the trees. The
bigger picture, why do/did client have to hire you? What’s the WHY behind their
project?

They have some business problems to solve, they have to go from point A to point B.
Help them get there and you will be a rock star. Speak their language. Speak what
they want to listen.

It could be helping them understand where the revenue is leaking, or which

department has most expenses and why, how are we projected for our sales next
season or what can we do to improve our customer experience based on what we
learned from data etc. you get the idea.

The better you understand the business/client’s pain points, the better you can solve
them and make them happy. That’s the holy grail of great client relationship and more
opportunities in the future. That’s how you will stand out from your peers and become
a valuable resource client’s rave for.

Sateesh all good, but how can I show value upfront without knowing joining them/
knowing anything about their business?

There is an opportunity if you think out of the box. Do a thorough analysis on the
company, their products or services, their challenges, google about the company and
you may find some news or some media mention about them or you may know a
friend who works/worked for that company or a quick search on Linkedin shows
employees

You should be able to find something that leads to some valuable discovery worth
noting and talking about during the interview. When you are given a chance to ask
questions at the end of the interview, talk about what you discovered, ask questions
about their products/services, what business problems are they facing, what’s the
WHY, the pain behind the project etc. and offer a mini solution for the problem they
may have. It’s a quick win.

This shows your upfront work, your preparedness, curiosity, and keenness in the role.

You get brownie points here. This approach of offering upfront value and proving your
worth to get hired makes you stand out among other candidates.

Remember our dashboard or report skills are means to an end, you will have to sell
them on your ability to solve business problems.

Data Visualization:

1. What is data visualization?

Data Visualization is a form of visual communication. At its core, it’s about encoding
aggregations and representing data visually, in order to gain insight from the data.
Data visualization allows for immediate insight by tapping into our mind’s powerful
visual processing system.

A primary goal of data visualization is to communicate information clearly and

efficiently via graphs and charts. Effective visualization helps users analyze and reason
about data and evidence. It makes complex data more accessible, understandable and
usable.

Think of all the popular data visualization works out there—they all tell an interesting
story. Maybe the story was to convince you of something. Maybe it was to compel you
to action, enlighten you with new information, or force you to question your own
preconceived notions of reality. Whatever it is, the best data visualization, big or
small, helps you see what the data has to say.

2. How do you explain data visualization to a layman?

Data visualization is the process of displaying data in graphical charts so that

businesses can find insights quickly and easily to make better decisions for good
outcomes.

3. Why did you choose data visualization?

Data Visualization helps us solve business problems faster or better. They bring some
new insights which often have a monetary value associated with it. Visualization often
enables problems with the data to become immediately apparent.

A visualization commonly reveals things not only about the data itself but also about
the way it is collected. With an appropriate visualization, errors and artifacts in the
data

4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

By practicing data visualization, it gives me an opportunity to make a direct impact on

the businesses bottom line.

4. Why Do We Visualize Data?

Humans respond to and process visual data better than any other type of data. In
fact, the human brain processes image 60,000 times faster than text, and 90 percent
of information transmitted to the brain is visual (http://news.mit.edu/2014/in-the-
blink-of-an-eye-0116).

Source (http://blog.visme.co/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/How-to-communicate-technical-information-21.jpg)

We visualize data to harness the incredible power of our visual system to spot
relationships and trends. Seeing the numbers visually gives us a quick understanding
of how business is performing so we can make data-backed decisions.

5. How do you define a dashboard?

A dashboard is a visual display of information that helps us visually display, track and
analyze key performance indicators (KPI) and metrics to monitor the health of a
business.

A dashboard is also defined as a visual display of the most important information

needed to achieve one or more objectives that have been consolidated on a single
screen so it can be easily monitored and understood at a glance.

The dashboard gives the ability is to spot the exception, highs, and lows and then
drilling into the specifics all in one place.

6. Briefly explain the process you follow in a data visualization project

from start to finish?

 First begin with understanding client business, technical and business

requirements.

 Understand the context of the visualization and audience who we intend to build.

 Capture user stories/business problems they are trying to address.

 Understand the data model, data analysis, and data preparation.

 Choose an appropriate visual that effectively brings the story live and answers
the business questions.

 Remove unnecessary elements, keep it clean and simple.

 Showcase the visualization to stakeholders, seek feedback and iterate.

 Data reconcile to make sure the numbers in the visualization are matching to the
numbers in the source.

 Unit testing, System testing, UAT, approval and deploying to production.

 User training, support, and maintenance.

7. How do you choose a visual to represent data?

First, we have to think about what it is that we want our audience to be able to do
with the data (function) and then create a visualization (form) that will most efficiently
and most accurately convey the data’s meaning.

When you display the data visually using the right chart, you’ll be able to easily
uncover meaningful patterns and correlations from a set of otherwise indecipherable
numbers.

Below are the four data relationships that are used when visualizing the data:

A comparison tries to set one set of variables apart from another and display how
those two variables interact, like the number of visitors to five competing websites in a
single month.

A composition tries to collect different types of information that make up a whole

and display them together, like the search terms that those visitors used to land on
your site, or how many of them came from links, search engines, or direct traffic.

A distribution tries to lay out a collection of related or unrelated information simply

to see how it correlates, if at all, and to understand if there’s any interaction between
the variables, like the number of bugs reported during each month of a beta.

A relationship tries to show a connection or correlation between two or more

variables through the data presented, like the market cap of a given stock over time
versus overall market trend.

Here is a handy diagram created by Dr.Andrew Abela

(http://extremepresentation.typepad.com/files/choosing-a-good-chart-09.pdf) that
can be used to determine the right chart type to use in your data visualization.

8. What is a Column chart?

A column chart visualizes data as a set of rectangular columns, their lengths being
proportional to the values they represent. The vertical axis shows the values, and the
horizontal axis shows the categories they belong to. In multi-series column charts,
values are grouped by categories.

9. What is a Bar chart?

A bar chart visualizes data as a set of rectangular bars, their lengths being
proportional to the values they represent. The horizontal axis shows the values, and
the vertical axis shows the categories they belong to.

So, the bar chart is a vertical version of the column chart. In multi-series bar charts,
values are grouped by categories. They are also preferred when the category names
are long or also to show ranking.

10. What is a Line chart?

A Line Chart is the most popular type of the data visualization. As a rule, it is used to
emphasize trends in data over equal time intervals, such as months, quarters, fiscal
years, and so on.

It displays information as a series of data points called ‘markers’ connected by straight

line segments. The X-axis holds the categories while the Y-axis holds the values.

presented, side by side, and watch the change in their total.

12. What is a Stacked Column Chart?

The Stacked Column Chart comprises several Column series stacked vertically, one on
another. Each series’ length is determined by the value in each data point. Stacked
Column Charts are a great option if you need to observe the change in each of several
variables simultaneously and in their sum.

You should pick this type of chart only in case the number of series is higher than two.
With just one series, it would be the Column Chart.

13. What is a Scatter Plot?

A scatter plot chart will show the relationship between two different values. This is
particularly useful to identify outliers or to understand the correlation in the data.

The datasets need to be in pairs with a dependent variable and an independent

variable. The dependent (the one the other relies on) becomes the y-axis and the
independent, the x.

When the data is distributed on the plot, the results show the correlation to be
positive, negative or nonexistent. Adding a trend line will help show the correlation
and how statistically significant the correlation is. Example: With trend lines, you can
answer such questions as whether profit is predicted by sales, or whether average
delays at an airport are significantly correlated with the month of the year.

An area chart is a chart type based on the line chart: it also shows information as a
series of data points connected by straight line segments, but the area between the X-
axis and the line segments is filled with color or a pattern.

The area chart emphasizes the magnitude of change over time and can be used to
highlight the total value across a trend. For example, an area chart displaying profit
over time can emphasize the total profit.

15. What is a Choropleth Map?

Choropleth Map displays divided geographical areas or regions that are colored,
shaded or patterned in relation to a data variable. This provides a way to visualize
values over a geographical area, which can show variation or patterns across the
displayed location.

16. What is a TreeMap?

A tree map is a visualization that displays hierarchically organized data as a set of

nested rectangles, parent elements being tiled with their child elements. The sizes and
colors of rectangles are proportional to the values of the data points they represent.

4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

A slope graph is a lot like a line graph, in that it plots change between points.
However, a slope graph plots the change between only two points, without any kind of
regard for the points in between.

It is based on the idea that humans are fairly good at interpreting changes in
direction. Decreases and quickly rising increases are easily detected.

18. What is a Waterfall chart?

The Waterfall Chart type is generally used to understand the influence of several
positive and negative factors on the initial value. Points are utilized to display the
process of the initial value change and can be in one of the three states: increase,
decrease, or total (subtotal).

The first and last columns in a Waterfall Chart usually represent totals. The
intermediate ones stand for the changes

Heat maps are convenient data visualization for comparing categories, using color to
emphasize relationships between data values that would be much harder to
understand in a simple table with numbers.

20. What is a Bullet graph?

A bullet graph is a variation of a bar graph developed to replace dashboard gauges

and meters. A bullet graph is useful for comparing the performance of a primary
measure to one or more other measures. It shows a distribution showing progress
towards a goal behind the bar.

21. What is a Gantt Chart?

The Gantt Chart is a type of bar diagram used to illustrate plans and activity schedules
of any project. It is a project management tool. Gantt Chart consist of bars stretched
along the time axis.

In this type of diagram, each bar represents a certain task within the framework of the
project in question. The ends of the bar stand for the task’s start and finish time, and
the length reflects duration. The Gantt Chart’s vertical axis is a task list.

22. What is a Histogram chart?

A Histogram visualizes the distribution of data over a continuous interval or certain

time period. Each bar in a histogram represents the tabulated frequency at each
interval/bin. The total area of the Histogram is equal to the number of data.

23. What are some of the charts you avoid and why?

3d charts– They skew the visual perception of the numbers making them difficult or
impossible to interpret or compare. It also introduces unnecessary chart elements like
side and floor panels which is not only a cognitive load on the brain but also
inaccurate.

Pie charts – This is not being as accurate as bar charts or position-based visuals.
With pie, we are judging areas and angles which is much more difficult than the length
in a bar chart. Our eyes cannot ascribe quantitative values to areas and angles
properly.

Donut charts– This is similar to the pie chart, but with a hole cut out in the middle so
that it looks like a donut. Because there’s a hole in the middle, we don’t judge values
by angle anymore. Instead, we have to compare one arc length with to another arc
length. Our eyes cannot ascribe quantitative values to arc length properly.

24. Can you explain some Data Visualization design best practices?

From Storytelling with data (https://amzn.to/2pHDYVA) book.

 Adding tons of special effects to a graphic will not make it any better if it lacks
good information. The special effects take away space that could have been used
to highlight other angles of the story.

 Don’t create fancy visualizations with tons of bubbles, lines, bars, and filters and
expect readers to figure the story out by themselves and draw conclusions from
the data. That’s not an approach to information graphics. Not all readers are data
analysts.

 Don’t just show stuff; explain the main points, focusing the reader’s attention on
the most interesting parts of the information.

Within the visual field include axes, labels, and sometimes captions and legends.

 Make all the elements support the visual. Use them to highlight the idea, not to
describe the chart’s structure.

 Remove ambiguity. Make sure each element has a single purpose that can’t be

26. What are interactive dashboards?

Dashboards which enable us to interact with various elements like filters, parameters,
actions, and slice and dice the data to get better insights or answer complex
questions.

27. What is Show Me feature in Tableau?

Show Me is a useful feature in Tableau which creates a visual based on the fields
already used in the view and any fields you’ve selected in the Data pane.

28. What is a Tableau data pane?

A pane on the left side of the workbook that displays the fields of the data sources to
which Tableau is connected.

29. What are different ways of connecting data?

You can connect Live or as an Extract. It depends on the project requirements.

In general, if the business needs up to minute/ live data updates to the dashboard, we
use Live connections. But it comes with performance impact due to constant
expensive data refresh operations.

In all other cases, extracts are preferred. Extract files are a local copy of a subset or
entire data source that you can use to share data, work offline, and improve database
performance. They can be scheduled to run at off-peak hours avoiding slow load
times.

4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

The first step towards exploring your data with Tableau is by looking at how the data
is structured. The more granular the data is the easier it is for us to work with,
visualize and answer business questions. If the data is already aggregated, we will be
limited by the capability of visualization.

31. What is marks card in Tableau?

A card to the left of the view where you can drag fields to control mark properties
such as type, color, size, shape, label, tooltip, and detail.

32. What are shelves in Tableau?

They are named areas to the left and top of the view. You build views by placing fields
onto the shelves. Some shelves are available only when you select certain mark types.
For example, the Shape shelf is available only when you select the Shape mark type.

33. What is a Published data source?

It contains connection information that is independent of any workbook and can be

used by multiple workbooks.

34. What is a data source page?

A data source page is where you can set up your data source. The Data Source page
generally consists of four main areas: left pane, join area, preview area, and metadata
area.

35. What is a format pane in Tableau?

A format pane contains formatting settings that control the entire worksheet, as well
as individual fields in the view.

36. When do you use horizontal and vertical containers?

Horizontal and vertical containers are used to organize different visual components in
a dashboard. It’s easy to format and keep visuals consistent within containers. These
containers create an area in the dashboard where objects automatically adjust their
size and position based on the other objects in the container.

37. What is Page shelf?

Tableau provides a distinct and powerful tool to control the output display known
as Page shelf. As the name suggests, the page shelf fragments the view into a series
of pages, presenting a different view on each page, making it more user-friendly and
minimizing scrolling to analyze and view data and information. You can flip through
the pages using the specified controls and compare them at a common axle.

38. How many ways to use parameters in Tableau
About 2 weeks ago by WPfomify (https://wpfomify.com/?utm_source=https%3A%2F%2F2.zoppoz.workers.dev%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fvizard.co&utm_medium=widget_referrer)

https://vizard.co/tableau-interview-questions/ 20/45
4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

We can use parameters with filters, calculated fields, actions, measure-swap, changing
views and auto updates.

39. What is a Hierarchy?

When you connect to a data source, Tableau automatically separates date fields into
hierarchies so you can easily break down the viz. You can also create your own custom
hierarchies. For example, if you have a set of fields named Region, State, and County,
you can create a hierarchy from these fields so that you can quickly drill down to
levels in the viz.

40. What are Automatic Hierarchies?

When you connect to a data source, Tableau automatically separates date fields into
hierarchies so you can easily break down the view by year, quarter, month, etc. We
can observe a plus symbol adjacent to the field those are part of the hierarchy.

41. What is an Analytics Pane?

The Analytics pane provides quick and easy access to common analytic objects in
Tableau. You can drag reference lines, forecasts, trend lines, and other objects into
your view from the Analytics pane, which appears on the left side of the workspace.

42. What are groups?

Group simplifies large numbers of dimension members by combining them into higher-
level categories. You can create a group to combine related members in a field. For
example, if you are working with a view that shows average test scores by major, you
might want to group certain majors together to create major categories. English and
History might be combined into a group called Liberal Arts Majors, while Biology and
Physics might be grouped as Science Majors.

43. What are sets?

Sets are custom fields that define a subset of data based on some conditions.
A set can be based on a computed condition, for example, a set may contain
customers with sales over a certain threshold. Computed sets update as your data
changes. Alternatively, a set can be based on a specific data point in your view.

44. What are the differences between groups and sets?

Groups simplify large numbers of dimension members by combining them into higher-
level categories.
Sets create a custom field based on existing dimensions that can be used to encode
the view with multiple dimension members across varying dimension levels.

into bins.

https://vizard.co/tableau-interview-questions/ 21/45
4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

Any discrete field in Tableau can be considered as a set of bins. For example, suppose
you create a view with Profit on Rows and State on Columns.

You could consider the State field as a set of bins -each profit value is sorted into
a bin corresponding to the state from which the value was recorded. But if you want to
see values for Profit assigned to bins without reference to a dimension, you can create
a numeric bin, with each individual bin corresponding to a range of values.

46. How do you handle Null Values?

Null values along an axis are indicated in the lower right corner of the view. Click the
indicator to open a dialog box that will help you decide how to handle these values.
The options available in the dialog box depend on the type of data in the view.

47. What are Rank and Percentile?

Use rank when you are interested in seeing the order of values in a list. For example,
you could apply a rank table calculation to a table to see which product category
ranked highest in sales over a four-year period.

Percentile is available as an aggregation and as a table calculation. To use one of the

built-in percentile aggregations, right-click a measure in the view and
select Measure > Percentile and then choose one of the numeric options.

48. What is a Secondary Axes?

In addition to blending multiple measures on the same axis, you can add a secondary
axis or dual axis to a view to better compare measures of different scales.

49. What are Aggregated Extracts?

You can optimize your extracts by only including the data you need. Specifically, you
can exclude columns, create filters to limit the number of rows, aggregate data, and
roll updates.

50. What are Incremental Extract Updates?

When you import all or some of your data into Tableau’s data engine, you create a
data extract. After you create the initial extract, you can set up an incremental refresh
so that importing new data doesn’t require you to rebuild the entire extract. An
incremental refresh can be defined by the values in a specified column. For example, if
you’ve created an extract that has date values, you can define the incremental refresh
to only add new rows if there are additions in the date column.

The Data Interpreter draws out sub-tables and removes some of that extraneous
information to help prepare the data source for analysis. Note: You are prompted to
use the Data Interpreter only if Tableau detects sub-tables or extraneous information
and if your connector supports it.

52. What are the different products Tableau offers?

Tableau offers 5 products.

Tableau Desktop: Tableau desktop is considered as “the gold standard” in visual

analytics. It is a self-service data visualization tool that lets you analyze virtually any
type of structured data and produce highly interactive, and stunning dashboards, and
reports in just minutes.

With tableau desktop, you can directly connect to data from multiple data sources:
data warehouse, flat files, cloud application or web sources. Tableau desktop brings all
your data together into one single view. It helps identify patterns, opportunities, and
ask questions to drive business profitability. Tableau makes analyzing data and making
better decisions faster.

Tableau Server: Tableau Server lets you centrally manage, collaborate and securely
host the dashboards published from Tableau desktop. It empowers the business with
the freedom to explore data in a trusted environment—without limiting them to pre-
defined questions, or chart types.

Users can edit and update the workbooks and dashboards online or Server but cannot
create new ones. However, there are limited editing options when compared to
desktop.

Tableau server connects to any data source securely – whether on-premise or in the
cloud. Publish and share your data sources as live connections or extracts for
everyone to use.

The Tableau platform is easy to deploy, scale, and monitor. Easily track and manage
content, users, licenses, and performance. Quickly manage permissions for data
sources and content and monitor usage visually.

Tableau Online: Tableau Online is an analytics platform fully hosted in the cloud. It
enables you to publish dashboards and share your discoveries with anyone. Invite
colleagues or customers to explore hidden opportunities with interactive visualizations
and accurate data. All easily accessible from a browser or on the go with Tableau
mobile apps.

Tableau Reader: Tableau Reader is a free desktop application that you can use to
open and interact with data visualizations built in Tableau Desktop. Filter, drill down
and discover. But this needs the packaged workbook file to be shared across the users
which not only is a security issue but also loses track of the correct version.

Tableau Public: Tableau Public is a free service that lets anyone publish interactive
data visualizations to the web. Visualizations that have been published to Tableau
Public can be embedded into web pages and blogs, they can be shared via social
media or email, and they can be made available for download to other users.

Tableau Public can only connect to few data sources like Microsoft Excel, Microsoft
Access, and multiple text file formats. It has a limit of 1,000,000 rows of data that is
allowed in any single file.

54. Explain the difference between Tableau Workbook, Story,

Dashboard, and Worksheets?

Workbooks and sheets: Tableau uses a workbook and sheet file structure, much like
Microsoft Excel.

A Workbook contains your views, dashboards, and stories, and data connection. You
can include local resources, such as background images and custom geocoding if they
reside in a location that the server or other Tableau users cannot access.

A worksheet contains a single view along with shelves, legends, and the Data pane.
A worksheet is where you build views of your data by dragging and dropping fields
onto shelves.

A dashboard is a collection of several worksheets and supporting information shown

in a single place so you can compare and monitor a variety of data simultaneously. For
example, you may have a set of views that you review every day. Rather than flipping
through each worksheet, you can create a dashboard that displays all the views at
once.

A story is a sheet that contains a sequence of worksheets and dashboards that work
together to convey information. Use stories to make your case more compelling by
showing how facts are connected, and how decisions relate to outcomes. You can then
publish your story to the web, or present it to an audience.

Within a workbook, you can create new sheets, clear an entire worksheet, duplicate
sheets, hide or show a worksheet, and delete a sheet. Tableau has several ways to
view and organize the sheets in your workbook.

Note:

From Worksheet, we can access Source Data Dimensions, Measures, and Custom
Fields.

From Dashboard, we can access Worksheet but we cannot access dimensions

measures directly.

From Story, we can access Dashboard and Worksheets but we cannot access
dimensions measures directly.

55. Difference between Tiled and Floating in Tableau Dashboards

A dashboard is a collection of worksheets and objects on a single sheet so you can

compare and monitor a variety of data simultaneously. Dashboard objects can
be tiled or floating. Tiled objects are arranged in a grid while floating objects can be
layered on top of other objects.

https://vizard.co/tableau-interview-questions/ 24/45
4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

When you publish a workbook to Tableau Online or Tableau Server, you can publish
the data it connects to in 2 ways.

As an integrated part of the workbook which is embedding data source connection

information within the workbook. This is used when we know a data source is not
shared with other dashboards.

As separate, standalone data source which is used when we have to share the same
data source with multiple dashboards.

57. How to automate reports using Tableau software?

When you publish workbooks that connect to extracts, you can set up a schedule for
updates (refreshes) for those extracts, so the views in those workbooks stay current.

The ways you can set up and manage extract refresh schedules depends on where you
publish and on the original data type.

When you publish to Tableau Server, the schedule runs and is managed on the
server.

When you publish to Tableau Online: If extracts are from cloud data (for example,
Google Analytics or Salesforce), schedules run and are managed on Tableau Online.

If extracts are from on-premises or web data connector (WDC) data, you set up and
manage refresh schedules using Tableau Bridge.

us/help.html#publish_workbooks_schedules.html%3FTocPath%3DPublish%2520Data%

58. When do we use Join vs Blend?

Use JOIN when you have multiple tables/views from the same data source to be used
in the dashboard. This happens at the source level.

Use BLEND when you have multiple tables/views from different data sources to be
used in the dashboard. This happens locally.

59. What is a Dimension?

Tableau treats any field containing qualitative, categorical information as a dimension.

This includes any field with text or dates values.

60. What is a Measure?

A measure is a field that is dependent on a value of one or more dimensions. Tableau

treats any field containing numeric (quantitative) information as a measure.

There are two types of data roles in Tableau – discrete and continuous.

Discrete data roles are values that are counted as distinct and separate and can only
take individual values within a range. Examples: names of customers. Discrete values
are shown as blue pills on the shelves and blue icons in the data window.

Continuous data roles are used to measure continuous data and can take on any value
within a finite or infinite interval. Examples: unit price, revenue or order quantity.
Continuous variables behave in a similar way in that they can take on any value.
Continuous values are shown as green pills.

This is best explained by Tom Brown

(https://www.theinformationlab.co.uk/2011/09/23/blue-things-and-green-
things/) and Amanda Patist (https://www.thedataschool.co.uk/amanda-patist/data-

62. What are Filter Actions?

Use the Filter Actions filter to show related information between a source sheet and
one or more target sheets. This type of action works well when you are building
guided analytical paths through a workbook or in dashboards that filter from a master
sheet to show more details.

63. What are some of the new features of Tableau 10.5 version?

Here are some of the new features in Tableau 10.5

Hyper: Hyper is Tableau’s new in-memory data engine technology, designed for fast
data ingest and analytical query processing on large or complex data sets. With up to
3X* faster extract creation, you always have the latest data. Up to 5X* increase in
query performance keeps you in the flow.

Viz in Tooltip: Engage with your data at a deeper level and maximize dashboard real
estate with Viz in Tooltip. Hover over a mark to display details-on-demand while
staying in context of the original view.

Nested projects: You can now nest projects within projects, and customize
permissions at each level, or choose to use a top-down permission structure. Now it’s
easier to organize your workbooks, so everyone in your organization can find what
they are looking for.

Power trend lines: Better understand power relationships between variables with
drag and drop power trend lines, bringing light to your physics, biology, astronomy,
economic data, and more.

Improved workbook version compatibility: Now you can revert your workbooks to
an older version with improved workbook version compatibility. Other users in your
organization can open and edit a workbook even when they aren’t using the latest
version of Tableau Desktop (down to Tableau 10.2).

The download formats available to you depend on permissions granted by Tableau

content owners and site administrators.

Image: Downloads an image of the view in a .png format.

Data: Opens a new tab in the browser window and displays the view’s data in
summary and detail. You can then download the data as a comma-separated value
(.csv) file.

Crosstab: Downloads the view, or the selected sheet in a dashboard, as a .csv file
you can open in Microsoft Excel.

PDF: Downloads a PDF of selected sheets. If you’re downloading a dashboard to PDF

format, web page objects aren’t included.

Tableau Workbook: Downloads a workbook you can open with Tableau Desktop.

Note: Downloading extremely large amounts of data can affect server performance
and might not complete successfully. If you encounter these issues, try exporting the
data directly from the underlying data source.

65. What are the different file extensions in Tableau?

Below are some of the file type’s extensions in Tableau.

Workbooks (. twb)

The. twb is the most common file extension used in Tableau, which presents an XML
format file and comprises all the information present in each dashboard and sheet like
the fields are used in the views, styles, and formatting applied to a sheet and
dashboard. But this workbook in itself does not contain any data. Workbooks hold one
or more worksheets, plus zero or more dashboards and stories.

Packaged Workbooks (.twbx)

Tableau packaged workbooks have the .twbx file extension. A packaged workbook is a
single zip file that contains a workbook along with any supporting local file data
sources and background images. This format is the best way to package your work for
sharing with others who don’t have access to the data. Save all the sheets, their
connection information and any local resources (e.g., local file data sources,
background images, custom geocoding, etc.)

The primary advantage to using .twbx files is that analysis can be performed without
network/internet connections to your data because your data is already present on
your computer in the packaged file.

Data Source (.tds)

Tableau data source files have the .tds file extension. Data source files are shortcuts
for quickly connecting to data sources that you use often. Data source files do not
contain the actual data but rather the information necessary to connect to the data
source as well as modifications you’ve made in the Data pane such as default
properties, calculated fields, groups, and so on.

4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

Tableau packaged data source files have the .tdsx file extension. A packaged data
source is a zip file that contains the data source file (.tds) described above as well as
any local file data sources such as Extract files (.tde), text files, Excel files, Access
files, and local cube files. Use this format to create a single file that you can then
share with others who may not have access to the original data stored locally on your
computer.

Extract (.hyper or .tde)

Depending on the version the extract was created in, Tableau extract files can have
either the .hyper (10.5+) or .tde file extension. Extract files are a local copy of a
subset or entire data set that you can use to share data with others when you need to
work offline and improve performance.

Bookmarks (.tbm)

Tableau bookmark files have the .tbm file extension. Bookmarks contain a single
worksheet and are an easy way to quickly share your work.

Tableau Map Source (.tms)

You can import a Tableau Map Source (.tms) that someone has shared with you into a
workbook, and then use it to create custom map views.

Tableau Preferences (.tps)

Whenever you have to create custom palettes to match your company branding
(besides the default Tableau color palettes), you can also create and use your own
custom color palettes by modifying the Preferences.tps file that comes with Tableau
Desktop.

When you save the workbook and restart Tableau Desktop, the color palette names
you added to Preferences.tps appear in the Select Color Palette drop-down list which
you can use a new palette like you would any other.

Tableau Datasource Customization (.tdc)

When you use a connector for a database that supports SQL, Tableau generates SQL
statements that are tuned for that database. Because Tableau has no representation
of the SQL dialect used by an ODBC data source, it must infer the supported syntax
through a variety of tests.

You can use Tableau customizations to fine tune this connection information in order
to significantly improve performance during the execution of Tableau’s complex SQL
statements.

For example, customers can define the SQL statements in which a schema identifier
can be used or the level at which their data source conforms to the SQL standard,
changing how Tableau queries for metadata, whether it can use temporary tables, how
many concurrent queries the data source can support etc. These customizations are
made using Tableau’s Datasource Connection (TCD) files.

 Cannot reference Measure Names/Measure Values in calculations.

 Cannot define the width of columns individually.

 Cannot control the display, selection, order, sorting of columns in view data
option for a worksheet view.

67. How is a workbook version controlled in Tableau?

Version control of a workbook can be done in 2 ways.

One at the desktop level where you keep copies of changes on a file system or a 3rd
party version control system like Microsoft TFS.

Second is at the server level when you publish a workbook or a data source, a version
is saved in the revision history for Tableau Server and Tableau Online. You can revert
to a previous version at any time.

68. What is the difference between filter and parameter?

A filter acts directly on a dimension or measure and restricts the domain of the field.
For example, to only show California or New York in a State dimension or only show
Sales between $100 and $200. There are a lot of options for filters. You can include or
exclude members of a dimension, use a wildcard for the member name, choose the
top N, given another measure, or use a condition (true/false) to choose what is in and
what is out.

A parameter, like is a variable. You can then use that variable inside calculations to
change the calculation. If you filter by a calculated field, you essentially have a
parameter controlling a filter. Parameters have almost the same UI options as filters,
but they are single-valued, so you have options for radio buttons, but not checkboxes.
There are also sliders and drop downs. Parameters are global, so can affect
calculations for all data sources and connections in a workbook.

69. What are Table Calculations

Table Calculations are computations that are applied to the values in the entire table
and are often dependent on the table structure itself. For example, in a sales
environment, you can use table calculations to compute the running total of sales
across a specified date range or to compute each product’s contribution to the total
sales in a quarter.

Level of detail expressions supports aggregation at dimensionalities other than the

view level. With the level of detail expressions, you can attach one or more
dimensions to an aggregate expression.

Unlike table calculations, totals, or reference lines, level of detail expressions are
computed in the data source. On the plus side, this lets you avoid the overhead of
bringing all the data from the database to your computer over the network. With large
data sources, this can be a huge performance gain. On the minus side, this can cause
Tableau to run more complicated queries (for example, containing many joins), and if
the underlying data source is slow, performance can suffer.

71. Explain Types of Filters in Tableau – Quick, Global, Context, At

Source, On Dimensions and Measures?

Quick Filter: Quick Filter Creates an interactive selection panel on the right top
corner of the data view. We can implement Quick Filter on Dimensions or Measures.
The interactive selection panel provides the options based on the source data.

Example: Quick Filer on Order Date with Yearly Consolidation provides the list of
YEARS available from SOURCE DATA for user selection.

Global Filter: Global Filter helps to share the same filter using the same source data
across multiple (or) all worksheets within a workbook. We can apply a global filter for
all the worksheets using the same data (or) It can be applied to only selected
worksheets.

Example: Filter with Complex calculation in one worksheet can be applied to some
other worksheet which using the same source data to avoid repetitive work.

Context Filter: Context Filter helps to pass the criteria of the filter from one level to
another related level.

Example: Top 10 Customers in the country by their purchases; here the context is
‘Top 10’. We can pass this context to know ‘Top 10’ Customers by Purchases in a State
within the same country.

Filter at Source: After connecting with the data source, filtering the data before
getting into the worksheet is called filtering at the source. This helps in improved
performance because the unwanted data eliminated.

Example: Selecting only one year worth of data from few years of historical data
after connecting with the source

Filter on Measure: This filter provides options – a range of values, at least, at most
and special. We can select any option that helps to select the right data or eliminate
the unwanted data. A special option is to deal with Null values.

Example: Filter on Sum of Sales.

Filter on Dimension: This filter provides options – General, Wildcard, Condition and
Top/Bottom. We can select any option that helps to select the right data or eliminate
the unwanted data. We can also create own formula then use it in this filter options –
Condition and Top/Bottom for the data selection needs. Condition and Top/Bottom
provides a channel from dimension to measure to get the required data.

Example: Filter on Order Date then selecting sales through dimension.

72. How do we do performance testing in Tableau?

Create a Performance Recording to record performance information about the

main events you interact with the workbook. Users can view the performance metrics
in a workbook created by Tableau. Help> Settings and Performance> Start
Performance Recording Help> Setting and Performance > Stop Performance
Recording.

Reviewing the Tableau Desktop Logs located at C:\Users\\My Documents\My

Tableau Repository. For live connection to the data source, you can check log.txt and
tabprotosrv.txt files. For an extract, check tdeserver.txt file.

73. How can we do load testing in Tableau?

You can do performance testing on Tableau with Tableau Server load-testing solution
called TabJolt. You can use TabJolt to push a heavy workload onto Tableau Server to
give it a jolt and study how the server bends or breaks under load. While TabJolt is not
supported by tableau directly, it has to be installed using other open source products.

74. How do you improve dashboard performance?

 Use an extract Extracts are a quick and easy way to make most workbooks run
faster.
There is nothing else that comes close to the efficiency gained using an extract.
If you don’t absolutely need live data, extracting is the best bet.

 Reduce the scope whether you’re creating a view, dashboard, or story, it’s
tempting to pack a lot of information into your visualization because it’s so easy
to add more fields and calculations to the view and more sheets to the
workbook. But the result can be that the visualization becomes slower and
slower to render.
Remember that each worksheet runs one or more queries against the data, so
the more sheets, the longer it takes to render the visualization.

 Reduce the number of marks on the view While there is no hard and fast
rule on what defines “too many marks,” be aware that more marks mean that
more processing power and memory is required to render them. You can find the
number of marks by looking at the lower left of the Tableau Desktop window in
the status bar.Watch out for large crosstabs and for maps with complex custom polygons.
Keep in mind that too many data points on a view can also reduce the visual analytics value
by causing information overload.

4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

 Use Booleans and integers output in calculations when you create

calculated fields; the data type you use has a significant impact on the
calculation speed. Integers and Booleans are generally much faster than strings.
If your calculation produces a binary result (for example, yes/no, pass/fail,
over/under), be sure to return a Boolean result rather than a string.

 Limit the data being introduced to each worksheet if you are not planning on
using a set of rows, you should filter them out of the data set as early as
possible. If your table contains all sales, and you only want to look at US sales,
use a data source filter to restrict data to the US alone. Less data is quicker
execution.

 Use Context filter creating one or more context filters improves performance as
users do not have to create extra filters on a large data source, reducing the
query-execution time.
You can create by dragging a filed into ‘Filters’ tab and then, Right-Click that field
and select ‘’Add to Context”.

You can create by dragging a filed into ‘Filters’ tab and then, Right-Click that field and

 Hide unused fields Even though we bring all fields from the tables; we end up
only using few of them. So, it’s better to remove them from the extract by
selecting “Hide All Unused Fields” in worksheets. Bringing fewer data should
always improve performance.

 Eliminate any non-essential components from the visualization.

This refers to values that would appear on the Pages, Filters, and Level of Detail
Shelves. If they are purely there for the user to see if they scroll over a point, then
they aren’t not only not adding any value but also impacting the performance.

 Reduce filters usage Take it easy on parameters and quick filters. Despite the
name, too many quick filters will actually slow you down. Particularly if you set
them to use ‘Only Relevant Values’ and you’ve got lots of discrete lists. For every
Quick filter which is added, Tableau has to execute the query in the database to
find out which values to display.
Alternatively, you can use Action filters which do not create any additional
database query.Avoid quick lters with Dropdown or Multi-select on high-cardinality
columns (columns which has more number of unique values; example: e-mail ids) as it takes
too much amount of time to return the result. Alternatively, you can use wildcard match
option.

appropriate when you know that your data has referential integrity but your database is not
enforcing or cannot enforce referential integrity. If you have the option of con guring
referential integrity in your database that is a better option than using this setting because it
can improve performance both in the database and in Tableau. The Assume Referential
Integrity option in Tableau can only affect performance on Tableau’s end. If your data does
not have referential integrity and you turn on this setting, query results may not be reliable.

75. How does version compatibility work in Tableau?

From Tableau 10.5 (https://www.tableau.com/10-5-features#feature-76894), now

you can revert your workbooks to an older version with improved workbook version
compatibility. Other users in your organization can open and edit a workbook even
when they aren’t using the latest version of Tableau Desktop (down to Tableau 10.2).

76. How does Compatibility between Tableau Desktop and Tableau

Server work?

A workbook created with any version of Tableau Desktop can connect to any supported
version of Tableau Server. But once you are connected, compatibility can be an issue
depending on the version you are using and the action you’re performing.

77. How can you restrict access at the row level?

When you share workbooks with others by publishing them to Tableau Server or
Online, by default, all users who have access to the workbooks can see all of the data
shown in the views. You can override this behavior by applying a type of filter that
allows you to specify which data “rows” any given person signed in to the server can
see in the view.

automatically aggregates the data, usually by summing it. You can easily determine

https://vizard.co/tableau-interview-questions/ 33/45
4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

the aggregation applied to a field because the function always appears in front of the
field’s name when it is placed on a shelf.

According to Tableau, disaggregating your data allows you to view every row of the
data source which can be useful when you are analyzing measures that you may want
to use both independently and dependently in the view. For example, you may be
analyzing the results from a product satisfaction survey with the Age of participants
along one axis. You can aggregate the Age field to determine the average age of
participants or disaggregate the data to determine at what age participants were most
satisfied with the product.

79. What is Assume referential integrity?

Referential integrity is a concept which ensures that relationships between

databases/tables remain consistent, i.e. it ensures that the references to data are
valid. You can improve query performance by selecting this option from the data
menu. When you use this option, Tableau will include the joined table in the query
only if it is specifically referenced by fields in the view.

80. Where can you use global filters?

Global filters can be used in sheets, dashboards and in stories.

81. What is Context Filter?

Context filter establishes a filtering hierarchy where all other filters present refer to
the context filter for their subsequent operations. The other filters now process data
that has been passed through the context filter.

Creating one or more context filters improves performance as users do not have to
create extra filters on a large data source, reducing the query-execution time.

You can create by dragging a filed into ‘Filters’ tab and then, Right-Click that field and
select ‘’Add to Context”

82. What are the Limitations of context filters?

The context filter is not frequently changed by the user – if the filter is changed the
database must re-compute and rewrite the temporary table, slowing performance.

When you set a dimension to context, Tableau creates a temporary table that will
require a reload each time the view is initiated.

83. How many maximum tables can you join in Tableau?

The maximum number of 32 tables can be joined in Tableau. A table size must also be
limited to 255 columns (fields).

Using Actions, we can create navigation between high-level details to low-level details
to support analysis. This navigation can take place between worksheets (or) within
dashboard between worksheets (or) between two different workbooks.

85. What are the types of Tableau Actions? and how are they different?

There are three options to implement Actions in Tableau: Filter, Highlight, and URL

Filter: The filter option helps to navigate from source worksheet to target worksheet.
One worksheet can carry high-level details and the target worksheet can have detail
level information in relation to the source worksheet.

Example: Source worksheet can have category level information and target
worksheet can have the category, subcategory details. Upon selection of a category,
we can navigate to target worksheet to see sub-category level details.

Highlight: The highlight option helps to navigate within dashboard between source
worksheet and target worksheet. One worksheet can carry high-level details and the
target worksheet can have detail level information in relation to the source worksheet.

(https://vizard.co/tableau-interview-questions/)
Example: Dashboard with Sales by Category, Sub-category. Assume there are two
worksheets in the dashboard. One worksheet can have category level information and
target worksheet can have a category, subcategory details. Upon hover of a category,

we can highlight the sub-category level details in the target worksheet.

URL: The URL option helps to navigate from one published workbook to another
published workbook. When report gets published in the Tableau Server it gets a
unique URL. One Workbook can have high-level details and the other workbook can
have low-level details.

Example: Workbook with Sales by Category. Another workbook with Sales by

Category, Sub-category. Upon selection of a category in one workbook the other
workbook URL opens.

86. How to view SQL which is generated by Tableau Desktop?

Tableau Desktop Log files are located in C: Users\My Documents\My Tableau

Repository. If you have a live connection to the data source, check the log.txt and

88. Describe the Tableau Architecture?

Tableau Server has a highly scalable, n-tier client-server architecture that serves
mobile clients, web clients, and desktop-installed software. Each of the components is
explained below.

89. Data Layer:

One of the fundamental characteristics of Tableau is that it supports your choice of

data architecture. Tableau does not require your data to be stored in any single
system, proprietary or otherwise. Most organizations have a heterogeneous data
environment: data warehouses live alongside databases, whether on-premise or in the
cloud. Cubes and flat files like Excel are still very much in use. Tableau can work with
all of these simultaneously.

90. Data Connectors:

Salesforce.com (http://Salesforce.com), Teradata, Vertica, Cloudera, and Hadoop.
There is also a generic ODBC connector for any systems without a native connector.

Tableau provides two modes for interacting with data: live connection or in-memory.
Users can switch between a live and in-memory connection as they choose.

91. Live connection:

Tableau’s data connectors leverage your existing data infrastructure by sending

dynamic SQL or MDX statements directly to the source database rather than importing
all the data. This means that if you’ve invested in a fast, analytics-optimized database
like Vertica, you can gain the benefits of that investment by connecting live to your
data. This leaves the detail data in the source system and sends the aggregate results
of queries to Tableau.

92. In-memory:

Tableau offers a fast, 64-bit ready, columnar in-memory Data Engine that is optimized
for analytics. You can connect to your data and then, with one click, extract your data
to bring it in-memory to perform queries in Tableau up to 100x faster. Tableau’s Data
Engine fully utilizes your entire system to achieve fast query response on hundreds of
millions of rows of data on commodity hardware.

Tableau Server Main Components:

The work of Tableau Server is handled with the following four server processes:

93. Application Server:

Application Server processes (wgserver.exe) handle content browsing, server

administration and permissions for the Tableau Server web and mobile interfaces.
When a user opens a view in a client device, that user starts a session
(workgroup_session_id) on Tableau Server. The default timeout for this session is
easily configuration by an administrator.

94. VizQL Server:

Once the user is authenticated via the application server, the user can open a view.
The client sends a request to the VizQL process (vizqlserver.exe). The VizQL process
then sends queries directly to the data source, returning a result set that is rendered
as images and presented to the user. In many cases, Tableau Server leverages client-
side rendering and caching to reduce the load on the server.

95. Data Server:

Unlike traditional approaches to metadata management, the Tableau Data Server is a

key component that allows IT administrators, to enable monitoring, meta data
management and control for IT, while enabling self-service analytics for business
users. It lets you centrally manage and store Tableau data sources and provides end
users with secure access to trusted data in a self-service analytics deployment.

https://vizard.co/tableau-interview-questions/ 37/45
4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

The backgrounder refreshes scheduled extracts, delivers notifications and manages

other background tasks. The backgrounder is designed to consume as much CPU as is
available so as to finish the background activity as quickly as possible.

97. Gateway/ Load Balancer:

The Gateway routes requests to other components. Requests that come in from the
client first hit an external load balancer, if one is configured, or the gateway and are
routed to the appropriate process. In the absence of an external load balancer, if
multiple processes are configured for any component, the Gateway will act as a load
balancer and distribute the requests to the processes.

98. Clients: Web Browsers and Mobile Apps

Tableau Server provides interactive dashboards to users via zero-footprint HTML5 in a

web or mobile browser, or natively via a mobile app.

99. Tableau Desktop

Tableau Desktop is the rapid-fire business analytics authoring environment used to

create and publish views, reports and dashboards to Tableau Server. Using Tableau
Desktop, a report author can connect to multiple data sources, explore relationships,
create dashboards, modify metadata, and finally publish a completed workbook or
data source to Tableau Server

whitepaper.

100. What are the different data security levels?

Tableau provides several ways for you to control which users can see which data. For
data sources that connect to live databases, you can also control whether users are
prompted to provide database credentials when they click a published view. The
following three options works together to achieve different results:

Database login account: When you create a data source that connects to a live
database, you choose between authenticating to the database through Windows NT or
through the database’s built-in security mechanism.

Authentication mode: When you publish a data source or a workbook with a live
database connection, you can choose an Authentication mode. Which modes are
available depends on what you choose above.

User filters: You can set filters in a workbook or data source that control which data
a person sees in a published view, based on their Tableau Server login account.

101. What is Authentication on Server?
Tableau Interview Questions
About 2 weeks ago by WPfomify (https://wpfomify.com/?utm_source=https%3A%2F%2F2.zoppoz.workers.dev%3A443%2Fhttps%2Fvizard.co&utm_medium=widget_referrer)

4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

Authorization refers to how and what users are allowed to do with content hosted on
Tableau Server (including projects, sites, workbooks, data sources) after
authentication has been verified.

These actions are determined by a combination of the user’s site role and permissions
associated with content.

102. What are different site roles we can assign to a user?

Site roles are permission sets that are assigned to a user, such as System
Administrator, Publisher, or Viewer. The site roles define collections of capabilities
(delete, save, view, and others) that can be granted to users or groups on Tableau
Server.

General capabilities allowed with each site role

 Server Administrator: The server administrator has full access to all servers
and site functionality, all content on the server, and all users.

 Site Administrator: Site administrators can manage groups, projects,

workbooks, and data sources for the site.

 Publisher: Publishers can sign in, interact with published views and publish
dashboards to Tableau server from the desktop.

 Interactor: Interactors can sign in, browse the server, and interact with the
published views, but are not allowed to publish to the server.

 Viewer: Viewers can sign in and see published views on the server but cannot
use any interactive features like filtering and sorting.

 Unlicensed: Unlicensed users cannot sign in to the server. Users are assigned
this role when licenses are not available.

103. What are permissions and how can we set them on various
resources?

Permissions determine whether a given user is allowed or denied to perform a specific

action on a specific resource.

There are six areas where permissions can be set:

Site: Sites are at the top of the content hierarchy and provide a way to partition your
server into separate environments for users. Each site is administered separately and
has its own Groups, Users, Projects, Workbooks and Data Sources.

Project: Projects exist within Sites, and are also used to separate content in the
server and typically used to split content into logical groupings, for example around
department or function etc.

Group: Groups are collections of Users within a site. They help to organize and
manage sets of users for administration purposes.

User: Users are the individual named users accessing a Site. Every user added to

view content published to the server.

4/24/2018 200+ Tableau Interview Questions and Answers - Vizard

Workbook: Workbooks use the default permissions from their project. Unless
permissions are locked, the publisher of the dashboard has final control over who sees
their data when it is published.

Data Source: Similar to Workbooks, Data Source permissions can be determined by

either the Publisher if publishing to an unlocked project, or by the project permissions
if publishing a data source to a locked project.

104. Why do you publish a data sources and workbooks?

Suppose you create a view that exposes a new range of questions in the data you’re
using, and you want to share this analysis with other people using this data. Or maybe
you are your team’s Data Steward, in charge of building the data models approved for
use by analysts, and meeting your organization’s requirements for security,
compliance, performance, and so on.

You can share your work with the rest of your team by publishing it to Tableau Server
or Tableau Online. After it’s published, you and your team can access it through your
web browser or the Tableau mobile app. Publishing data sources can also help you to
centralize data management.

105. What are the Best Practices for Published Data Sources

Publishing data sources to Tableau Online or Tableau Server is integral to maintaining

a single source for your data. Publishing also enables sharing data among colleagues;
including those who don’t use Tableau Desktop but have permission to edit workbooks
in the web editing environment.

Updates to a published data source flow to all connected workbooks, whether the
workbooks themselves are published or not.

us/help.html#publish_datasources_about.html?Highlight=publish%20data%20source)

106. What makes up a published data source

The data connection information that describes what data you want to bring in to
Tableau for analysis. When you connect to the data in Tableau Desktop, you can create
joins, including joins between tables from different data types. You can rename fields
on the Data Source page to be more descriptive for the people who work with your
published data source.

An extract, if you decide to create one. Guidelines for when to create an extract are
included below, as well as in the additional resources.

Information about how to access or refresh the data. The connection also
includes access information.

107. How can you schedule the Reports in tableau?

extract.

This increases performance and avoids queries to the live database. Then you can add
that workbook to a schedule so that the extract is refreshed at regular intervals with
updated data from the data warehouse.

Schedules are created and managed on the server by an administrator. However, an

administrator can allow you to add a workbook to a schedule when you are publishing
from Tableau Desktop.

1. As you are publishing a workbook, in the Publish Workbook to Tableau Server

dialog box, click Scheduling & Authentication.

2. In the Scheduling & Authentication dialog box, select a schedule for the
workbook:

All data sources that require authentication must have an embedded password so that
the extract can be refreshed. This includes data sources that are not extracts

108. What is Hyper?

Hyper is a high-performance in-memory data engine technology that helps customers

analyze large or complex data sets faster, by efficiently evaluating analytical queries
directly in the transactional database. A core Tableau platform technology, Hyper uses
proprietary dynamic code generation and cutting-edge parallelism techniques to
achieve fast performance for extract creation and query execution.

With Hyper, transactions and analytical queries are processed on the same column
store, with no post-processing needed after data ingestion. This reduces stale data
and minimizes the connection gap between specialized systems. Hyper’s unique
approach allows a true combination of read-and write-heavy workloads in a single
system. This means you can have fast extract creation without sacrificing fast query
performance.

109. What are the performance benefits of Hyper?

Starting in 10.5, Hyper technology integrates with Tableau Data Engine to give you
the following key benefits:

Faster extract creation: With Hyper technology, it generates extracts almost as fast
as the source system can deliver data, no sorting needed.

Support for larger extracts: Prior to this release, you might not have been able to
get all your data into a single extract. With the new Hyper technology, much larger
amounts of data are included in a single extract.

Faster analysis of extracts: In many cases, you will see faster querying of data for
larger extracts, or workbooks with complex calculations.

Hyper technology is memory-optimized. This means that when needed, all data
lives in memory. This results in fast data access times.

110. What is VizQL?

At the heart of Tableau is a proprietary technology that makes interactive data

visualization an integral part of understanding data. A traditional analysis tool forces
you to analyze data in rows and columns, choose a subset of your data to present,
organize that data into a table, then create a chart from that table.

VizQL skips those steps and creates a visual representation of your data right away,
giving you visual feedback as you analyze. As a result, you get a much deeper
understanding of your data and can work much faster than conventional methods–up
to 100 times faster.

111. Where can we find Tableau Repository?

Tableau Repository will be found under the “Documents. It contains a number of

folders. It will be automatically created while we install Tableau in our system. Those
folders contain logs, where every hit of Tableau records logs in the notepad files and
also it contains some of the information like map sources, Bookmarks, etc.

112. What is an increment refresh and full refresh?

Incremental refresh and Full refresh are the classifications of scheduling. Incremental
refresh will refresh only the incremental records of data during refresh in scheduling
whereas the full refresh will refresh the full data during refresh in scheduling.
