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.

Show Suggested Answer

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:

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

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
