In a new worksheet you place the continuous measures Sales on Columns and Profit on Rows, leaving all other shelves blank. To visualize the relationship between the two measures, which default mark type does Tableau apply to the view it creates?
When two continuous measures are placed on the Columns and Rows shelves without additional fields, Tableau automatically builds a scatterplot. The Marks card switches to the Circle mark type, displaying each data point as a circle positioned by its Sales (x-axis) and Profit (y-axis) values. Other mark types-such as Line, Gantt Bar, or Text-are only selected by default when the shelf arrangement suggests time-series, duration, or text tables, respectively, so they would not appear in this scenario.
