Data extraction in Tableau creates a subset of data from the ___

34. Data extraction in Tableau creates a subset of data from the ___.

1. Data view
2. Data source
3. Data pane
4. None of the mentioned above

Answer: B) Data source

Explanation:

Tableau creates a subset of data from the data source by extracting it. This is useful for enhancing performance through the usage of filters. It also aids in the application of Tableau capabilities to data that may not be present in the data source, such as discovering distinct values in the data. The data extract function, on the other hand, is most commonly used to create an extract that can be saved to the local drive and accessed by Tableau offline.
