A data analyst is creating a scatter plot in Tableau to visualize product data. To make the visualization more intuitive, they want to represent each product category with a distinct symbol. Which property on the Marks card should the analyst use to achieve this?
The correct answer is Shape. On the Marks card in Tableau, dragging a dimension to the 'Shape' property assigns a unique shape to each member of that dimension, which is ideal for distinguishing between categories in a visualization. The 'Detail' property is used to separate marks based on a dimension's members without assigning specific formatting like color or shape. The 'Size' property is used to encode data by varying the size of the marks. The 'Label' property is used to display text marks or add data values as labels to the marks.
