...

- From the Measures pane, select Profit.

tab and then click 
. Visualization builds a Heat Map Chart.
By default, Visualization moves Profit to the Color Deck and displays the profit value of coffee brands in different color intensities. The size of the square is uniform because the Size Deck is empty. Now move Profit from the Measures pane to the Size Deck. Visual Analytics displays the profit value for coffee brands in different square sizes and color intensity. Also, when Visualization built this chart, it displayed both dimensions on the Y-axis. We have changed this display by moving Geography to the Columns Deck. Now, Coffee Brand is on the Y-axis, and Geography is on the X-axis.
