You are building a bar chart to display total sales for each product category. To achieve this, the 'Product Category' field is used to create distinct labels for each bar. What data role is 'Product Category' fulfilling in this context?
It is a continuous field that creates a quantitative axis.
It is an aggregated field that is being visualized.
It is a measure, as it provides the numerical data for the chart.
It is a dimension that sets the level of detail for the view.
In Tableau, fields that contain qualitative, categorical information are classified as dimensions. Dimensions are used to set the level of detail, or granularity, in a view. In this scenario, 'Product Category' is the dimension that slices the 'Sales' measure, creating a separate bar for each category.
