When you need Tableau Desktop to instantly build a histogram of a continuous measure and create an editable bins field, which single action should you perform after selecting the measure in the Data pane?
Click Histogram in the Show Me palette.
Create a group from the measure's values in the view.
Convert the measure from Continuous to Discrete on the Marks card.
Choosing the Histogram chart type from Show Me is the only one-click method that (1) places the selected continuous measure on Columns as a binned dimension, (2) creates a new bins field in the Data pane that you can reopen to modify bin size, and (3) puts CNT(Measure) on Rows to complete the histogram. Right-clicking and choosing Create > Bins makes the field but does not build the view. Converting the measure to a dimension or grouping its values does not generate bins or a histogram automatically.
