An analyst wants to visualize the frequency distribution of a continuous measure, like product prices, in a histogram. To begin this process in Tableau, what is the primary step required to segment the measure into equal-sized intervals?
The correct method for creating equal-sized intervals from a continuous measure to build a histogram is to create bins. In the Data pane, you can right-click a measure and select 'Create' > 'Bins' to generate a new binned field, which groups the values into ranges. This new binned field is then used as a dimension to build the histogram. Groups are used to combine members of a dimension, not to segment a measure. Sets are used to create a subset of data with 'In' or 'Out' members based on certain conditions. Creating a hierarchy is for establishing drill-down paths in dimensional data.
