Discuss Salesforce Analytics-DA-201 Exam Topic 1 Question 4

You publish a dashboard that uses an extract. The extract refreshes every Monday at 10:00.

You need to ensure that the extract also refreshes on the last day of the month at 18:00.

What should you do?

AFrom Tableau Server, select Schedules, find the schedule of the extract, and change the frequency to the last day of the month.

BFrom Tableau Server, select Schedules, and change the priority of the existing schedule.

CFrom Tableau Server, select the workbook, select Refresh Extracts, and then add a new extract refresh.

DFrom Tableau Desktop, open the Publish Workbook dialog box and configure the schedule.

Suggested Answer: C

To ensure that the extract also refreshes on the last day of the month at 18:00, you need to add a new extract refresh task to the workbook on Tableau Server. You can do this by selecting the workbook, selecting Refresh Extracts, and then choosing Schedule a Refresh. You can then select an existing schedule that matches your desired frequency and time, or create a new schedule with a custom frequency and time. This will add a new extract refresh task to the workbook, in addition to the existing one that refreshes every Monday at 10:00. You can also modify or delete the extract refresh tasks as needed.Reference:

Totally agree with A, it’s straightforward and effective.

Delmy 11 months ago

Wait, can you really change the frequency like that? Sounds too easy!

Nettie 11 months ago

Changing priority won’t help, so B is definitely not the answer.

Yolando 11 months ago

I think C is a better choice. You need to add a new refresh.

Valentin 11 months ago

Option A seems like the right move for monthly refreshes.

I don't recall changing priorities helping with scheduling; it seems like that would be more about managing resources. So, I lean towards A as well.

I’m a bit confused about whether we can do this directly from Tableau Server or if it has to be done in Tableau Desktop. I think it might be D?

I remember practicing a question about scheduling extracts, and I feel like changing the frequency is the right approach, so maybe A?

Dell 1 year ago

I think we need to set up a specific schedule for the last day of the month, but I'm not sure if it's option A or C.

Maile 1 year ago

I'm confident that option A is the correct answer. Modifying the existing schedule is the simplest and most direct way to achieve the required refresh on the last day of the month.

Okay, let's see. I'm leaning towards option C - adding a new extract refresh from Tableau Server. That way we can keep the existing Monday schedule and just add the additional refresh.

Alexis 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. Do we need to create a new schedule entirely, or can we just modify the existing one? I'll have to think this through carefully.

Anabel 1 year ago

This seems straightforward. I think option A is the way to go - just modify the existing schedule to refresh on the last day of the month.

Ernestine 1 year ago

Option A seems like the obvious choice to me. Why overcomplicate things? Just change the schedule frequency and voila, problem solved.
