A shared axis chart in Tableau is that shares one axis among multiple measures. This chart can be used when the measures have similarly ranged values and can be presented using one mark and one scale.

Following is the procedure to make share axis chart:
i. From Dimensions, drag Team Name to the Filters shelf.

iv. Under the General tab, choose 2009.
v. From Dimensions, drag League to the Filters shelf.

viii. From Dimensions, drag Player Name to the Rows shelf.
ix. From Measures, drag Field Goals Made to the Columns shelf. This creates a horizontal axis for your view.
x. From Measures, drag Field Goals Attempted to the horizontal axis created by the Field Goals Made measure. Do not let go of the mouse until you see the double ruler icon appear on top of the axis.
