When a continuous field is dragged onto the Rows or Columns shelf in a Tableau worksheet, what is the primary visual element that Tableau creates in the view to represent its values?
The correct answer is that a continuous field creates an axis. In Tableau, fields are either continuous (green pills) or discrete (blue pills). When a continuous field is placed on the Rows or Columns shelf, it is treated as an infinite range of values, which results in the creation of an axis. In contrast, when a discrete field is placed on the Rows or Columns shelf, it creates distinct headers or labels for each individual value in the field.
