Exam TDA-C01 Topic 3 Question 34 Discussion

Actual exam question for Tableau's TDA-C01 exam
Question #: 34
Topic #: 3
You want to create the following table in a view.

Which function should you use to create the Position column?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

To create the Position column, you should use the FIRST () function. The FIRST () function returns the number of rows from the current row to the first row in the partition. For example, the first row in a partition will return 0, the second row will return -1, and so on. In this question, the partition is defined by the Segment field, and the table is sorted by the Sales field in descending order. Therefore, the Position column shows the offset of each row from the first row in each segment, based on the sales ranking. References:
