Which Tableau shelf is used to place fields that create the horizontal axis of a chart?

Accepted Answer

To create the horizontal axis of a chart in Tableau, fields are placed on the Columns shelf, as it determines the width and categories of the visualization. This shelf is specifically designed for dimensions that split the data into separate columns. The Rows shelf, on the other hand, is used for the vertical axis. Filters and Marks serve different purposes, making them incorrect choices.
