An analyst wants to build a standard vertical bar chart comparing sales across different product categories. To accomplish this, how should the 'Sales' measure and 'Product Category' dimension be placed on the main shelves?
Place 'Sales' on the Detail mark and 'Product Category' on the Color mark.
Place 'Sales' on the Columns shelf and 'Product Category' on the Rows shelf.
Place 'Product Category' on the Filters shelf and 'Sales' on the Text mark.
Place 'Product Category' on the Columns shelf and 'Sales' on the Rows shelf.
To create a vertical bar chart, the dimension that defines the categories ('Product Category') should be placed on the Columns shelf to create distinct columns for each category member. The measure ('Sales') should be placed on the Rows shelf to create a vertical axis, where the height of each bar represents its value. Placing the measure on Columns and the dimension on Rows results in a horizontal bar chart. Placing fields on the Marks card (like Text, Detail, or Color) or the Filters shelf serves other purposes, such as encoding marks or limiting the data in the view, and would not create the requested bar chart structure.
