An Areas visual has the following shelves:

X Axis

This is conceptually the X axis. Use a Dimension for a horizontaly-oriented area graph or a Measure for a vertically-oriented area graph.

When using multiple fields, the last field defines the axis, while the preceding fields trellis the graph in columns.

Y Axis

This is conceptually the Y axis. Use a Measure for a horizontally-oriented area graphor a Dimension for a vertically-oriented area graph.

When using multiple fields, the last field defines the axis, while the preceding fields trellis the graph in rows.

This shelf displays only one field on the graph. Additional fields appear only in the Tooltip.
