Exam TCC-C01 Topic 1 Question 55 Discussion

See the complete Steps below in Explanation:
Explanation:
To modify the Percent Contribution calculated field to use a Level of Detail (LOD) expression and accurately calculate the percentage contribution of each manufacturer to the total quantity, follow these steps:
* Open the CC Workbook and Access the Worksheet:
* Double-click on the CC workbook from the desktop to open it in Tableau Desktop.
* Navigate to the Manufacturers worksheet by selecting its tab at the bottom of the window.
* Modify the Percent Contribution Calculated Field:
* Navigate to the Data pane and find the "Percent Contribution" calculated field.
* Right-click on the "Percent Contribution" field and select 'Edit'.
* Modify the formula to incorporate an LOD expression that calculates the total quantity across all manufacturers and the specific quantity per manufacturer:
{FIXED [Manufacturer]: SUM([Quantity])} / {SUM([Quantity])}Quantity])}
* This formula uses{FIXED [Manufacturer]: SUM([Quantity])}to compute the total quantity contributed by each manufacturer, regardless of other dimensions in the view. The total quantity
{SUM([Quantity])}calculates the grand total across all manufacturers. The division calculates the percentage contribution.
* Click 'OK' to save the updated calculated field.
* Enter Percentage for Newell:
* With the updated "Percent Contribution" field, drag it onto the view to update the chart or table.
* Identify the value corresponding to 'Newell' in the updated visualization.
* Round this value to the nearest hundredth of a percent as required.
* Enter this value into the "Newell % Contribution" parameter. To do this, locate the parameter in the Data pane or on the dashboard, right-click it, and choose 'Edit'. Enter the calculated percentage for Newell.
* Save Your Changes:
* From the File menu, click 'Save' to store all the modifications you have made to the workbook.
References:
* Tableau Help: Offers detailed guidance on using LOD expressions for precise and context-independent aggregations.
* Tableau Desktop User Guide: Provides comprehensive instructions on managing calculated fields and parameters, ensuring accurate data analysis.
By following these steps, you will have successfully updated the calculation for percent contribution using LOD expressions, providing a more accurate analysis of each manufacturer's contribution to the total quantity.
Moreover, updating the parameter with Newell's specific contribution rounds out the task by reflecting precise data inputs for reporting or further analysis.
