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.
