A view in Tableau displays a single aggregated value for SUM(Profit). If a user adds the 'Region' dimension to the view, how does this change the aggregated measure?
The measure is converted into a dimension, and all distinct profit values are listed.
The view is disaggregated completely, showing every individual profit transaction from the data source.
The aggregation is automatically changed from SUM(Profit) to AVG(Profit) to show a more detailed view.
The SUM(Profit) is recalculated for each region, breaking down the single value into multiple values based on the dimension's members.
When a dimension is added to a view that already contains an aggregated measure, it increases the level of detail. Tableau partitions, or breaks down, the measure based on the members of that dimension. In this scenario, the single SUM(Profit) value is recalculated for each individual region, resulting in multiple values. The aggregation type (SUM) does not change automatically, and the measure is not fully disaggregated unless specified.
