To set the default properties of a field to Currency in Tableau, you need to configure the number format of the field from the Data pane. This can be done by right-clicking the field in the Data pane and selecting Default Properties, then choosing the appropriate number format (in this case, Currency).

This is a tricky question. We are talking about story POINTS, and not entire stories in the question.

To create a story, lets say I have a blank story with 1 dashboard and 1 worksheet.

I can simply drag the dashboard into the view to create a new story point.

Now, if I try to adjust the worksheet beside it in this same view, I cannot. See below:

The only option available is to replace the existing view. Therefore, the answer is NO since they both cannot be added.

Explanation

A geographic role associates each value in a field with a latitude and longitude value.

Assigning a geographic role based on the type of location (such as state versus postcode) helps ensure that your data is plotted correctly on your map view. For example, you can assign the City geographic role to a field that contains a list of city names.

To assign a geographic role to a field:

In the Data pane, click the data type icon next to the field, select Geographic Role, and then select the geographic role you want to assign to the field.

When you assign a geographic role to a field, Tableau adds two fields to the Measures area of the Data pane: Latitude (generated) and Longitude (generated).

These fields contain latitude and longitude values and are assigned the Latitude and Longitude geographic roles. If you double-click each of these fields, Tableau adds them to the Columns and Rows shelves and creates a map view using the Tableau background map.

Bar charts in Tableau do not require a dimension to be created. You can create a bar chart using only a measure; this will produce a single bar that represents the aggregate of the measure values, such as the sum or average of sales.

Explanation

Since you need BOTH State and the YEAR, we need to use an Inner Join.

Follow the steps below:

To update the font of an entire workbook in Tableau, you should use the "Format Workbook" pane. This feature allows you to set and modify the default font settings for the entire workbook, ensuring consistency in font style across all sheets and dashboards. It's a global setting that applies to all visual elements in the workbook, including titles, captions, axis labels, and other text elements.

Explanation

Yes! We get different color palettes. They are:

*From the official Tableau documentation*

To change the color for a value

1) Click on an item on the left, under Select Data Item.

2) Click a new color in the palette on the right. In Tableau Desktop you can hover over a swatch to identify the color.

3) Repeat for as many values that you want to change.

4) In Tableau Desktop, click OK to exit the Edit Colors dialog box. In Tableau Server or Tableau Online, simply close the dialog box.

AND

All of the given options are true except - Animations work well with maps, polygons, and density marks in web browsers.

From the official documentation: 

As seen above, we can either turn the animations for the entire workbook (upper red box), or only for the current sheet ( lower red box )

1) Simultaneous animations

The default simultaneous animations are faster and work well when showing value changes in simpler charts and dashboards.

2) Sequential animations

Sequential animations take more time but make complex changes clearer by presenting them step-by-step.

Upon clicking on a filter, we see the following options:

Clearly, Regex Match is not one of these options!

Explanation

When you connect to a new data source, Tableau assigns each field in the data source as dimension or measure in the Data pane, depending on the type of data the field contains. You use these fields to build views of your data.
