A view currently displays Category on Columns and SUM(Sales) on Rows, producing one bar per category. Which action will transform this view into a stacked bar chart that shows Sales by Category and Region?
Drag a second measure, such as Profit, onto the Rows shelf.
Drag the Region dimension onto the Size shelf of the Marks card.
Drag the Region dimension next to Category on the Columns shelf.
Drag the Region dimension onto the Color shelf of the Marks card.
To stack the bars by a second dimension, you need to encode that dimension on the Marks card so Tableau layers its members within each bar. Dragging the discrete dimension Region to the Color shelf causes Tableau to draw one colored segment per Region and stack those segments vertically (because the mark type is Bar). Moving Region to Size or Shape changes mark properties but does not produce stacking, while adding Region to Columns creates separate side-by-side bars. Adding another measure simply creates a dual-axis or combined view, not a stacked bar.
