When building a bar chart that shows total Sales by Region, you drag the discrete dimension Customer Segment onto the Color shelf of the Marks card. Which outcome will occur in the visualization?
Color is ignored because the shelf only accepts measures, not dimensions.
The bar chart is converted to a filled map colored by sales variance.
All bars take on a single shade calculated from average sales per segment.
Each region bar is divided into differently colored sections for every segment, and a categorical legend is added.
Placing a discrete dimension on the Color shelf tells Tableau to encode each distinct member of that dimension with its own categorical hue. Because the view already has a single bar per region, Tableau stacks the marks inside each bar-one colored segment for every customer segment-and automatically adds a color legend. Continuous palettes are only used when the field on Color is a measure or a continuous dimension, and Color can always accept dimensions, so the other options are incorrect.
