You have Sales on the Columns shelf creating a vertical bar chart. To build a combined axis chart that displays both Sales and Profit on the same axis, which action should you perform?
Right-click the Sales axis and select Dual Axis, then synchronize the axes.
Convert Profit to a discrete field and place it on the Color shelf in the Marks card.
Drag Profit to the Rows shelf so it creates a second bar chart, then synchronize axes.
Drag Profit onto the Sales axis on Columns and drop when the double-ruler cursor appears.
A combined axis chart is created by placing multiple measures on the same axis so they share one set of headers and scale. In Tableau Desktop, you do this by dragging the second measure directly onto the existing axis until the cursor shows a double-ruler icon; dropping it there combines the two measures on that axis. Dragging Profit to the Rows shelf produces a separate pane, not a combined axis. Converting Profit to discrete and placing it on Color simply changes bar color encoding. Choosing Dual Axis builds a dual-axis chart with two independent axes, not a combined axis chart.
