True or False: It is not possible to blend axes for multiple measures into a single axis
- A . False
- B . True
A
Explanation:
We can very much blend multiple measures into a single axis. Such charts are called Combined-Axis / Blended-Axis charts.
Follow along:
Measures can share a single axis so that all the marks are shown in a single pane. To blend multiple measures, drag one measure or axis and drop it onto an existing axis.
Instead of adding rows and columns to the view, when you blend measures there is a single row or column and all of the values for each measure is shown along one continuous axis. For example, the view below shows quarterly sales and profit on a shared axis.
Note: If you drag a measure on to the canvas and only see a single ruler indicator instead of the double ruler indicator shown below, Tableau creates dual axes instead of a blended axis. For more information about how to create dual axes, see Compare two measures using dual axes.

Which of the following can help us focus on specific data without removing data in the visualization?
- A . Highlighters
- B . Sets
- C . Clusters
- D . Filters
A
Explanation:
From the official documentation:
When you have a view with a large amount of data you might want to explore your data interactively and highlight a specific mark or group of marks while still maintaining the context of where those marks show in your view.
To do this you can turn on the Highlighter for one or more discrete fields that are included in your view and that affect the level of detail
Example – Here we just want to focus on Public Affairs college dimension, but don’t want to filter out or remove the rest of the data:
Chart, scatter chart

Note that filtering is not the correct option since that would REMOVE the data that doesn’t match the filtering criteria.

While borders and background colors let you visually highlight items on a dashboard, _________ lets you precisely space items.

Padding lets you precisely space items on dashboard, while borders and background colors let you visually highlight them.
