For a relative date filter, the default anchor is ______

Correct Answer:B
Relative date filters dynamically update to show a time period relative to when you open
the view, such as the current week, the year to date, or the past 10 days. Relative date filters make it easy to create views that always show the most recent data.
Step 1: Drag a date field to the filter shelf
Right-click (control-click on Mac) and drag a date field from the Data window to the Filters shelf. In the Filter Field dialog box, click Relative Date, and then click Next.

Step 2: Select a time unit
In the Filter dialog box, click Relative dates, and then select the unit of time for the filter. For example, to show only the three most recent weeks, select Weeks.

Here, you can clearly see that the default date is TODAY

Which of the following is true about 'Incremental refresh' when creating Extracts in Tableau?

Correct Answer:A
Extracts are saved subsets of data that you can use to improve performance or to take advantage of Tableau functionality not available or supported in your original data. When you create an extract of your data, you can reduce the total amount of data by using filters and configuring other limits. After you create an extract, you can refresh it with data from the original data.
When refreshing the data, you have the option to either do a full refresh, which replaces all of the contents in the extract, or you can do an incremental refresh, which only adds rows that are new since the previous refresh.
