This question is about how Tableau handles the aggregation of a calculated field in a view.
Option 1: None of the above. While tempting, this choice says nothing about how Tableau actually represents an aggregate calculation when you drop it into the view, so it’s unlikely to be correct given the standard behavior.
Option 2: Profit_Ratio. If Tableau treated the pill as a plain named field without any aggregation wrapper, you might expect just the label. However, since the field itself uses aggregate functions (SUM), Tableau will display it with an aggregation wrapper to reflect that the value is aggregated across the level of detail in the view.
Option 3: SUM(Profit_Ratio). Adding the field and attempting to sum the already-aggregated ratio would produce a double aggregation across the same granularity, which is not how Tableau typically represents an existing aggregated calculation. This would also misrepresent the intended meaning of the ratio across the view.
Option 4: AGG(Profit_Ratio). When a calculated field uses aggregate functions (like SUM in its definition), Tableau wraps the result in the AGG(...) notation to indicate that the field itself is an aggregated measure. This is the standard display you see for such calculated fields when added to the view.

In summary, because Profit_Ratio is defined as a ratio of two SUMs, its value is inherently an aggregated result, and Tableau represents it as AGG(Profit_Ratio) to preserve the correct level of detail and aggregation semantics in the view.
