You want to create a scatterplot to compare two measures, 'Sales' and 'Profit', for every 'Product Name'. What is the fundamental step to ensure each product is represented by an individual mark on the plot?
Place 'Sales' on the Size shelf and 'Profit' on the Color shelf.
Place 'Sales' on Columns, 'Profit' on Rows, and 'Product Name' on Detail.
Place 'Sales' and 'Profit' on Rows, and 'Product Name' on Columns.
To create a scatterplot in Tableau, one measure is placed on the Columns shelf and another on the Rows shelf. This defines the x and y-axes. However, this alone results in a single mark representing the aggregated total for both measures. To disaggregate the view and show a mark for each 'Product Name', the 'Product Name' dimension must be placed on Detail on the Marks card.
