You have plotted customer locations as individual symbols on a map. To convert this symbol map into a density map that highlights areas with many customers, which action should you take on the Marks card?
Click Show Me and select the Heat Map chart type
Drag the Longitude pill from Columns to the Path shelf
A density map is created by switching the mark type to Density. Tableau then replaces individual symbols with colored kernels that aggregate nearby points, showing areas of higher concentration. Changing the map style, rearranging pills, or picking Heat Map in Show Me will not activate the density kernel-only the Density mark type does.
