CERTIFIED-DATA-ANALYST-ASSOCIATE Question #88: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A data analyst has produced a visualization. A stakeholder has viewed the visualization and is complaining that the visualization is difficult to interpret. After looking at the visualization, the analyst determines that the scale of the y-axis must be changed. Where are the controls for changing the scale of the y-axis in Databricks SQL?

Options

• AQuery Editor -> Y Axis
• BDashboard Editor -> Axes -> Y Axis
• CVisualization Editor -> Y Axis
• DSettings -> User Settings -> Scaling

Explanation

In Databricks SQL, y-axis scale controls live inside the Visualization Editor, which is the dedicated interface for configuring how a query's results are displayed - including axis ranges, labels, and scaling. Option C is correct because you access visualizations by clicking on a saved query result, then editing the visualization properties directly within that editor.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Query Editor) is where you write and run SQL - it has no axis configuration controls.
• B (Dashboard Editor) lets you arrange and resize tiles on a dashboard but does not expose axis-level settings for individual visualizations.
• D (Settings → User Settings) controls account-level preferences (notifications, display name, etc.) and has nothing to do with chart rendering.

Memory tip: Think "you configure what something looks like where you create it." Visualizations are created and edited in the Visualization Editor, so that's also where you control their appearance - including axes.
