Tableau Exam TCC-C01 Topic 4 Question 12 Discussion

Actual exam question for Tableau's TCC-C01 exam
Question #: 12
Topic #: 4
[All TCC-C01 Questions]

A client notices that while creating calculated fields, occasionally the new fields are created as strings, integers, or Booleans. The client asks a consultant if

there is a performance difference among these three data types.

What should the consultant tell the customer?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

In Tableau, the performance of calculated fields can vary based on the data type used. Calculations involving integers and Booleans are generally faster than those involving strings. This is because numerical operations are typically more efficient for a computer to process than string operations, which can be more complex and time-consuming. Therefore, when performance is a consideration, it is advisable to use integers or Booleans over strings whenever possible.

C'mon, they all perform the same? That can't be right. I'm going with option D, Booleans are the champs here!

I think D) Booleans are fastest, followed by integers, and then strings makes sense because of the simplicity of Boolean data type.

Strings are the fastest? That's a bit counterintuitive. I'd go with option B, integers are the way to go!
