When you first place the numeric field Profit onto the Rows shelf in a blank worksheet, Tableau displays a single mark summarizing all records. What aggregation did Tableau apply by default?
Tableau automatically aggregates numeric measures when they are added to a view. The default aggregation applied is SUM, which totals the values across all rows in the data source. Other aggregations such as AVG, COUNT or MEDIAN can be selected manually, but they are not used unless the user changes the default setting.
