• A.By dragging another dimension to the Rows shelf
• B.By dragging another measure to Color on the Marks card
• C.By dragging another dimension to Color on the Marks card

This is what the question says we have already created. Now to convert this into a Stacked bar chart, we will drop another dimension on Color in the Marks card.

The rest won't create stacked bar charts, and hence are incorrect choices. The best way to answer such questions on the real exam is to quickly do what the options say and see if they satisfy the requirements in the question.

Which of the following is NOT a valid official data source in Tableau Desktop?

• A.PostgreSQL
• B.SAP HANA
• C.Google Firebase
• D.Amazon Redshift

Correct Answer: C

Presently, there is no official way to connect your data in Firebase directly with Tableau Desktop.
A workaround however can be to export your Firebase data into Google BigQuery, and then connect it to Tableau Desktop.
But then again, it is a workaround and not an official out-of-the-box solution.
The following are the available Data sources available as of now:
1) Server

2) File
