When you place a measure on the Rows or Columns shelf, quantitative axes for that measure are created. As you add more fields to the view, additional headers and axes are included in the table and you get an increasingly detailed picture of your data.
For example, the members of the Segment dimension are displayed as column headers, while the Profit measure is displayed as a vertical axis.
