In Tableau Desktop, you drag the continuous field Sales from the Data pane to the Rows shelf. According to Tableau's visual conventions, how does the application display this continuous field within the view?
Tableau adds a blue pill and displays separate headers for every distinct Sales amount.
Tableau adds a green pill and creates a continuous numeric axis spanning the range of Sales values.
Tableau aggregates Sales into a single value and shows one mark in the view without any axis.
Tableau converts Sales to a dimension and lists each unique value in a legend beside the view.
Continuous fields in Tableau are represented by green pills. When placed on the Rows or Columns shelf, they generate a continuous axis that shows the full quantitative range of values. This contrasts with discrete (blue) fields, which create individual headers for each distinct value. Continuous fields are not automatically converted to dimensions, and they do not appear as a single mark unless further aggregated or filtered.
