Continuous fields in Tableau have specific characteristics:
A . Continuous fields appear as green pills:
Continuous fields in Tableau are represented as green pills in the view. This indicates that they are treated as a continuous range of values rather than discrete categories.
B . Continuous fields are numeric:
Continuous fields typically consist of numeric data that can take any value within a range. They are used to measure and compare data values.
C . The values in continuous fields are treated as an infinite range:
Continuous fields are treated as an infinite range, allowing for detailed and granular analysis of data. Unlike discrete fields, which are considered distinct and separate, continuous fields are seen as a seamless continuum.
Incorrect options:
D . Continuous fields are categorical: This is incorrect because categorical fields are discrete, not continuous.
E . Only measures can appear as continuous: This is incorrect because dimensions can also be treated as continuous in certain contexts.
