Which of the following are the options to export the data used to build the view / visualisations?

• A.CSV file
• B.PDF File
• C.JSON format
• D.MS Access Database

Correct Answer: D

Explanation
You can export the data in a Tableau data source, including all or part of the records from your original data.
Alternatively, you can export only the portion of data used to generate the view.
Since the question mentions the data used to build the view, we'll focus on that :
*Export data in the view to Microsoft Access or .csv*
Export the data that is used to generate the view as an Access database (Windows only) or .csv file (Mac only).
1) In Tableau Desktop, select Worksheet > Export > Data.
2) Select a location and type a name for your Access database or .csv file.
3) Click Save.
4) If you're on Windows, the Export Data to Access dialog box displays to give you the option to immediately use the new Access database and continue working in Access without interrupting your work flow.
