Question 2 of 126

Which statement accurately describes aliases?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

You can assign an alias to a field member before creating a visualization. Aliases are used to provide alternate names for field members, making the data easier to understand in visualizations. They do not change the actual data in the database, and they are typically applied to discrete dimensions, not measures. Therefore, this is the explanation for why the correct answer is option A.

Question 3 of 126

You need to invert the color intensity of a quantitative range.
Which option should you use?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

To invert the color intensity of a quantitative range, you should use the 'Reversed' option. This setting changes the order of colors in the palette, which effectively inverts the intensity of colors along the range. Lower values that would normally be lighter can be made darker and vice versa, ensuring the color intensity is inverted as required.
