When you connect to a CSV file, Tableau reads two columns: Transaction_ID (a numeric field) and Region (a text field). You make no manual changes after the connection. Based on Tableau's default field classification, how will these two columns be listed in the Data pane?
Both fields under Measures, because Tableau classifies every field as a measure until it is used in a view.
Transaction_ID under Dimensions and Region under Measures, because identifiers are categorical while regions can be aggregated.
Both fields under Dimensions, because Tableau assumes identifiers and categories are qualitative.
Transaction_ID under Measures and Region under Dimensions, because numeric fields default to measures while text fields default to dimensions.
Tableau places fields in Dimensions or Measures by inspecting their data types. Text, date, and boolean fields are treated as qualitative attributes and therefore appear under Dimensions. Numeric fields are assumed to be quantitative and appear under Measures until the user changes their role. Because Transaction_ID is numeric, Tableau initially lists it under Measures. Region is a text (string) field, so it is listed under Dimensions. The other answer options contradict this default behavior.
