◉ What are different ways of connecting data?
Answer: 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.
◉ How do you prepare data for reporting?
Answer: 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.

workbook and can be used by multiple workbooks.

entire worksheet, as well as individual fields in the view.
◉ When do you use horizontal and vertical containers?
Answer: 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.

output display known as Page shelf. As the name suggests, the page
