Is it possible to add both a Dashboard and a Worksheet at the same time to a Story Point in Tableau?

• A.Yes
• B.No

Correct Answer: B

This is a tricky question. We are talking about story POINTS, and not entire stories in the question.
To create a story, lets say I have a blank story with 1 dashboard and 1 worksheet.
I can simply drag the dashboard into the view to create a new story point.

Now, if I try to adjust the worksheet beside it in this same view, I cannot. See below:

The only option available is to replace the existing view. Therefore, the answer is NO since they both cannot be added.

Which of the following is the correct way to calculate Profit Ratio in Tableau?

• A.Profit / Sales
• B.Sales / Profit
• C.SUM(Profit) / SUM(Sales)
• D.SUM(Sales)/SUM(Profit)

Correct Answer: C

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION
Aggregation is an important concept to consider when creating calculated fields. A calculated field for SUM([Profit]) / SUM([Sales]) will give you a very different answer than [Profit] / [Sales], even though both formulas are valid.
If you do not provide the aggregation within the calculated field, Tableau will calculate the equation for every record ( row ) in your analysis, then aggregate the answers for all of the rows together when the calculated field is added to the view.
In simple terms, if specify the aggregation such as SUM, what Tableau will do is that it will first calculate the sum of the Profit column ( say x ), then calculate the sum of the Sales column ( say y ), and then simply apply x/y ---> This is what we expect! Perfect!
BUT, if you don't specify the aggregation, it will go to every single ROW, perform Profit / Sales, and then aggregate the answers calculated for each row. This is simply NOT what we wan't!
