Blue vs. Green - What does it mean in Tableau?

  • When I first started using #Tableau, I assumed that blue meant dimensions and green meant measures. They don’t.
    Blue means Discrete
    Green means Continuous
    It took me a couple of years to get my head around this most foundational concept in Tableau.
    Dimensions and measures are merely a way that Tableau organizes the data.
    And if you only take away one thing from this video, this is it:
    - Blue things GROUP your data
    - Green things COUNT your data
    - Dimensions SPLIT up the view
    - Measures FILL the view
    In this video, I’ll explain the entire concept to you.

    Thanks Andy! Really good explanation. I'm new to Tableau, barely been using it for a month so I'm still getting familiar with the technical verbiage. I like how your tutorials are straight to the point, no frills are unnecessary information.

    Just started using tableau for work and I’m a bit like a deer in the headlights. I’ve watched a few videos on YT but this channel is by far the best at explaining it.

    Hi Andy! Thank you for another great video, you make it very easy to grasp these fundamental concepts :)
    Just an observation: on the lower left cuadrant you meant: Create headers + Aggregate each mark, right? (min 6:37). Just want to make sure that I understood it correctly. Thanks!
