You have a bar chart that shows total Sales by Region. To turn it into a stacked bar that reveals how each Segment contributes to the regional totals, to which Marks card should you drag the Segment dimension?
Dragging the Segment dimension to the Color shelf tells Tableau to break each bar into separate colored marks for every Segment value. Because the bars share the same axis and chart type, Tableau automatically stacks those marks on top of one another, producing a single bar per Region subdivided by Segment. Placing Segment on Size, Label, or Detail would add separate visual encodings or extra marks but would not instruct Tableau to stack the bars by category.
