Using Show Me, you attempt to build a basic bar chart from scratch. Which field selection meets the minimum requirements for the Bar Chart icon to become enabled in Show Me?
The Bar Chart option in Show Me becomes active only when the view contains at least one dimension and at least one measure. This combination lets Tableau determine the discrete categories (dimension) along one axis and the quantitative values (measure) that determine the bar lengths. Selecting only measures, only dimensions, or a single geographic dimension without a measure will leave the Bar Chart icon unavailable because Tableau lacks either the categorical or quantitative information required to draw bars.
