After connecting to a data source, you drag the numeric field Sales to the Columns shelf without changing any defaults. Which statement best describes how Tableau displays this continuous field in the view?
The field is aggregated into bins and displayed as discrete bars with no axis.
Tableau shows a green pill and draws a horizontal axis with a continuous scale.
Tableau shows a blue pill and creates one header for each distinct Sales value.
Tableau automatically converts Sales to a dimension and lists each value as a separate column.
Continuous fields are indicated by green pills. When such a field is placed on Rows or Columns, Tableau constructs a quantitative axis whose scale spans the entire range of the field's values. The green pill signals that the field is treated as continuous, so the axis is drawn. Blue pills, on the other hand, indicate discrete fields that create separate headers rather than an axis. Tableau will not automatically convert a measure to a dimension, nor will it bin a measure unless the user specifically requests it.
