Using the dataset, plot a Map showing all the countries, filtered by Market to only include LATAM. Which country in the LATAM Market has the highest shipping delay (sum of total number of days between the order date and the ship date)?

• A.Brazil
• B.Peru
• C.Argentina
• D.Mexico

Correct Answer: D

Explanation
VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR THE EXAM, PAY ATTENTION
1) To find the number of days between order date and shipping date, we will make use of a calculated field:

In the data pane, click on the dropdown arrow, and choose create calculated field.
Let's name this calculated field "ShippingDelay" (you can name it anything you want :) )
2) Use the DATEDIFF() function, and pass it the arguments as follows:

'day' depicts that we want to calculate the number of DAYS between the two dates. The first argument is
'start_date' which is the ORDER_DATE (day the order was placed), the second argument is 'end_date', which is the SHIP_DATE (date the order was shipped). So by subtracting as follows: SHIP_DATE - ORDER_DATE, we can find the delay in shipping.
Click OK.
3) You should now have a new measure as follows:

4) Phew! The hard part is done! Now let's filter by Market to include only LATAM:

5) Drag Country to the view, and the new calculated field 'ShippingDelay' to SIZE on the Marks Shelf as follows:
*You can also click on Show Text Labels to be sure that you're choosing the Largest value*

Clearly, Mexico has the highest Shipping Delay!

Which of the following is NOT a new feature introduced in Tableau 2020.1?

• A.Dynamic Paramaters
• B.Viz Animations
• C.Buffer Calculations
• D.Set Control

Correct Answer: D

Explanation
Your Tableau Desktop Specialist exam will be based on the 2020.1 version.
Set controls are a new feature introduced in the 2020.2 version, and hence is the correct answer - it is not a part of 2020.1 For the 2020.1 version the new features were:
1) Viz animations:
Viz animations help you see and understand your changing data. It's easy to track the logical steps behind data's evolution and tell powerful data stories. Sorting, filtering, adding fields, and other actions will now smoothly animate your visualizations. Choose whether to turn Viz Animations on or off, and decide how you'd best like to apply animations to your new workbooks.

2) Dynamic Parameters:
Say goodbye to republishing workbooks with parameters every time the underlying data changes. Set your parameter once, and Tableau will automatically update the parameter's list of values every time someone opens the workbook.

3) Buffer Calculations:

Buffer calculations allow you to visualize the distance around point locations. Give Tableau three parameters-location, distance, and a unit of measure-and a buffer, or boundary is instantly created.
Answering complex spatial questions becomes easier than ever before-visualize what properties are within
200 meters of a proposed transit site, or how many competitors' stores are within 1 mile of their store, and more.

True or False: A sheet cannot be used within a story directly. Either sheets should be used within a dashboard, or a dashboard should be used within a story.

• A.rue
• B.False

Correct Answer: B

Explanation
It is possible in Tableau to use a sheet within a story directly.
Moreover, in Tableau, a story is a sequence of visualizations that work together to convey information. You can create stories to tell a data narrative, provide context, demonstrate how decisions relate to outcomes, or to simply make a compelling case.
At the same time, a story is also a collection of sheets, arranged in a sequence. Each individual sheet in a story is called a story point.
