Tableau Interview Questions asked in recent Tableau Interviews

Recently I faced many interviews for tableau developer and reporting analyst in Accenture, Marsh Maclennan, General Mills, BNP Paribas, Unifrax, TCS, Deloitte, and Prudential.

The interviewer asked the below questions in all interviews. Sometimes they are just asking about your project and responsibilities and if they found you from the same working conditions like domain, technology then they will not ask further questions.

But if there are many rounds like a basic technical interview, Advanced technical Interview then there are more chances to ask the below questions.

So be prepared for the Tableau technical round Interview questions just by overviewing the below questions.

Just read the below questions and try to answer them yourself then you will definitely crack your interview. Check below the list of Tableau Interviews I had faced in my interviews.

You can take the help of my recent blog on medium.com to answer these questions:
