A .hyper file is an extract file that contains a snapshot of data from a data source. It is a compressed and optimized file format that can be used to improve the performance and portability of dashboards and workbooks. A .twb file is a workbook file that contains the visualization and connection information, but not the data itself. A .csv file is a comma-separated values file that contains plain text data. A .mdb file is a Microsoft Access database file that contains tables, queries, forms, and other objects.

In Tableau, a .hyper file is an extract file created by the Hyper database engine. It contains a snapshot of the data pulled into Tableau and is used to perform data analysis without the need for a live connection to the data source.

To add a comment to March 2020 on a line chart, you need to annotate that mark. You can right-click on the mark and select Annotate > Mark from the menu. This will open a dialog box where you can type your comment and format it as you like. You can also drag and drop the annotation to position it on the worksheet. Dragging the growth rate to Text on the Marks card will add a label to every mark on the line chart, enabling captions will show a description of the worksheet at the bottom, and adding a tooltip will show a text box when users hover over a mark.

To add a comment to a specific point on a line chart, such as March 2020 in the provided visualization, you would use the ' Annotate ' feature. Right-clicking on the data point for March 2020 and selecting ' Annotate ' allows you to add a text annotation directly to the chart, which can be used to highlight and comment on that particular data point.

To share a dashboard that contains confidential information about patients health and needs to always be up to date for a team of healthcare workers, you should publish it to Tableau Server. This will allow you to control who can access and interact with your dashboard, as well as schedule automatic refreshes of your data source or extract. Publishing to Tableau Public would expose your data to anyone on the internet, printing to PDF would not update your data, and exporting as a .twbx would require sending a large file that might not be compatible with other versions of Tableau.

When sharing sensitive and confidential information that needs to be kept up-to-date, such as patient health data for a team of healthcare workers, the best practice is to publish the dashboard to Tableau Server. Tableau Server is designed for secure, controlled access and can be configured to ensure that data is refreshed as needed. Publishing to Tableau Public is not secure for confidential data, printing to PDF or exporting as a .twbx does not allow for live data updates.

To create an image of the chart that you can add to the annual report, you can use either the Export option or the Copy option from the Worksheet menu. The Export option will allow you to save the image as a file in a specified location, name, and format. The Copy option will allow you to copy the image to the clipboard and paste it into another application, such as Microsoft Word. Both options will let you choose which elements to include in the image, such as title, caption, legend, etc. References:

To configure the dashboard action, you should select Filter as the action type, Select as the run action on option, and All Fields as the target filters option. This will ensure that when a user selects a city on the map, the bar chart will show only the data for the selected city based on all fields in common between the two worksheets. The action will run only when the user selects a different city.
