Explanation

When you first add a measure to the Rows shelf, Tableau creates a single mark representing the aggregated value of that measure, so there is 1 mark initially. After you add a dimension with 11 members to the Columns shelf, Tableau creates a separate mark for each member of the dimension, resulting in 11 marks in total. This setup displays the measure value for each of the 11 members along the columns.
