Yes or No: The number of marks will increase when you increase the number of Dimensions in a view

• A.No
• B.Yes

Correct Answer: B

Of course! As an example, see below:
1) Using the Sample Superstore data, let's plot a bar chart showing the Sales for each Category:

Observe that we have 3 marks - Each bar in a bar chart is called a mark. Similarly, each point in a scatter plot is also a mark , and so on for all charts.
1 row by 3 columns means that clearly on the y-axis (Sales), we have only a single mark - a single continous axis, but 3 different marks (Technology, Furniture and Office supplies ) on the x-axis.
2) Now let's add subcategory to the view as well (another dimension):

Observe that the number of marks has increased - i.e the number of Bars.
Also, notice we now have 1 row and 17 columns. Simply because 1 row = Sales (on the y-axis), and on the x-axis, we have 17 different columns (i.e product sub categories!!)
