Dimensions and Measures, Blue and Green

● Dimensions contain qualitative values (such as names, dates, or geographical data). You can use
dimensions to categorize, segment, and reveal the details in your data. Dimensions affect the level of
detail in the view.

● Measures contain numeric, quantitative values that you can measure. Measures can be aggregated.
When you drag a measure into the view, Tableau applies an aggregation to that measure (by
default).
