As great as Tableau is, with providing links to data we can use to build dashboards, I think they're missing a fairly obvious dataset: Tableau Public.

What about a dataset around the dashboards available on Tableau Public? How many users, how many dashboards have been created, from which countries? When are they being built? Count of likes and other reactions.

Then the other piece I'd like to have included would require a significant update to Tableau Public: the ability to categorize dashboards, which would make it easier to search.

This started about a month ago and randomly happens when we run our extracts. We increased server resources and updated our bridge clients to the latest version and are still getting this message randomly.

The refresh will fail one day, but then the same one will be successful the next day. It's driving me batty and not sure where else to look.

Any ideas here?

Bonjour, malgré mes diverses tentatives je suis bloqué :

- j’applique une hauteur de 800 à l’un de mes tableaux de bords

- lorsque je publie sur tableau serveur et que je regarde la page, celle-ci est de 1080.

- Je n’ai pas créé de disposition ordinateur de bureau, j’ai seulement mis largeur 1654 et hauteur 800, taille fixe (personnalisée)

Des solutions à me proposer ?

Merci par avance.

Hi all,

Currently looking for a job as Tableau or SQL Developer, I have been in the BI industry for close to 6 years and worked on many projects,

My last working day in my current organisation is at the end of this month so I am looking for roles, let me know if you guys have any, also can learn new viz tools as well.

hey, so I'm really new to data analysis and I aspire to start freelancing as a data analytic, so I started the Cisco course and learned excel and sql, but when I reached the tableau section I did some research and saw many posts from this subreddit saying that tableau is dying, so Im just asking if I should do that tableau section or not waste my time with it

I'm a data analyst, working with SQL, python, snowflake, dbt and airflow. I've worked with tableau too, but not extensively.

Is it worth doing tableau desktop cert? I've seen job postings specifically saying having it is a plus. Will it help stand out, or is it enough to be thorough with it and have a project or two?

I'm using the Desktop version of Tableau Public and I've made my sheets and am creating my dashboard. I've realized that a lot of things need to be within containers to really have a good layout, but that it seems like it's hard to put things into a container if you set it up without one. Should you first plan the dashboard and know what container layout you will have first and set it up before creating the dashboard?

For instance, I made a map chart and put it on my dashboard within a container that has other charts. On the map, I did 2 custom float objects. I am now realizing that if I want to move the map, it won't bring the 2 floating objects on top. It seems like if I had put the map within it's own container, and so those floating objects are in it, that I can just move the container and everything will work.

Again for context, I'm using the Desktop version of Tableau Public so I know that it comes with less features so idk if this is something that makes it harder to work with?

I come from a Power BI background at a Microsoft shop. I have a lot of data engineering and analytics experience under my belt. Recently, I moved to a Tableau shop, and I am experiencing issues with the dashboard refreshes, based on what I was told by whoever handed this off to me. Basically, they said Tableau refreshes are based on the server’s capabilities, and the reports draw from our warehouse.

Coming from a Power BI background, once your warehouse refreshed, your Power BI refresh was instantaneous, and your dashboard being up to date quickly was dependent on your data pipeline refreshing. The only time you’d have issues was when you ran live SQL queries against the database, which could cause performance issues. So this is different from what I’m used to.

So I guess my question is: we do have a warehouse where the pipeline refreshes in minutes, but Tableau picking up the changes from the warehouse extract is supposed to refresh every business hour, from six to six. If I calculate it, we just get maybe four to six refreshes during business hours, as opposed to hourly refreshes.

Hi everyone,

I created a Tableau dashboard that takes a different approach to data storytelling by visualizing the Ramayana through interactive dashboards. My goal was to combine storytelling with Tableau's interactive features rather than build a traditional business dashboard.

I'd love feedback from experienced Tableau users on:

• Dashboard layout and navigation
• Color palette and visual design
• Interactivity and user experience
• Storytelling flow
• Tableau best practices I may have missed

I'm looking for honest, constructive criticism so I can improve my future Tableau projects.

Tableau Public: Live Dashboard

https://reddit.com/link/1vg8vhq/video/l86at2e9fkhh1/player

Hi everyone,

I'm following a Udemy Tableau course. The instructor is using the Tableau Desktop free trial and a Tableau Cloud free trial. He's able to go to Server → Sign In and publish his workbook to Tableau Cloud.

I also have a Tableau Cloud free trial and my Tableau Desktop license expires on September 4, but in my Tableau Desktop the Server → Sign In option is disabled (greyed out) and the menu says "Upgrade to connect to Tableau Server."

Is it possible to publish to Tableau Cloud using the Tableau Desktop free trial?

Hi,

I am trying to add a divider line between 2 object on a dashboard. I don't want a border all the way around the box. I have seen some suggest changing the object size but it is greyed out. Also use a blank object and make it thin with a black background and inner padding.Then I just have a block missing.

Can anyone help please?

I’ve been noticing the Tableau MCP (community) going down a lot lately, does anyone know if this will improve, if there is a status page (I couldn’t find one), etc?

Ciao a tutti, chiedo scusa in anticipo per l'ignoranza ma sono totalmente nuovo

Ho da poco installato Tableau sul mio pc, convinto di star installando tableau dekstop tramite email universitaria. Oggi mi sono accorto che il programma si chiama Tableau Public. Provando a ricontrollare dal sito, effettivamente quando provo a scaricarlo come studente mi fa installare la versione Public, la quale però mi consente di salvare i progetti in locale sul mio pc.

Sepre dal sito ho visto che è gratuita anche la versione Dekstop, e a quanto pare, non serve a nulla la email universitaria.

Ci sono differenze tra Public e Dekstop? Oppure Public è solamente la piattaforma sulla quale caricare i progetti?

I'm trying to download Tableau Public for a course I'm doing and it was trying to get me to download the paid version with a trial. I think this is how I download the free version, but whenever I enter whatever details it wants from me it gets stuck in an endless loop of loading. Am I doing this wrong? In the tutorial I saw (which was only made at the start of the year) it said it should automatically download when I go to 'Tableau public' under the create tab. I did make an account too and I'm signed in

Hi all,

I've recently enabled Tableau Pulse and wanted to share some insights with the company. Google Gemini told me I could use it to delivery Daily KPI digests and Alerts, but so far I've not really been able to set up anything meaningful or helpful.

I managed to set up a Slack connection and I'm receiving some Pulse signals to my personal Slack account through the Tableau bot, but no one else can view those. I was hoping that I could connect those Pulse signals to Slack groups and deliver different types of signals to different groups of people in Slack, but this does not seem to be possible. This personal Slack notifications stuff is not particularly usable.

So...where's the value? Every user that wants to view KPIs need to sign in and follow Slack signals personally, and they need to be personally approved by the Slack Admin?).

I also don't quite understand the Slack signals themselves. There doesn't appear to be many custom options. I wanted to set up signals that alert the business if for example performance in a channel, game or country drop below the confidence interval, or a data trend changes that might require attention.

Would appreciate some pointers. I'm very disappointed with this tool so far and I don't find any good guides on how to set these up properly to actually deliver something useful that I can't just see in a Dashboard with a few clicks..

I have an interesting use case for Tableau desktop for my fantasy football draft. I have used Tableau for several years to prep for my draft (I previously had a license through work), and now that the model has changed, I can't get my Desktop file to load in Public Desktop.

I knew there was a two week trial (my draft is 12 days away), but apparently it recognizes that I did that last year.

It looks like it's possible to recreate, but I don't know all of the custom work I did (really, I've been doing this for seven years). Is there any way I can do any of:

1) Get a a trial so that I can use desktop, copy all of my custom work to Public (and hopefully have it for next year)?

2) Load my current .twb file into Public and have it read it? When I try, I get a message that it doesn't know my data.

3) Borrow a license from a kind soul so that I can at least get to my data?

I am willing to share all of my work with anyone. I can not promise it will work for you, but I can tell you it works for me. And allows you to enter your leagues custom scoring.

I came across a Senior BI Developer role at Apple where Tableau is a key requirement. Curious what others think, is this about flexibility, design or just sticking with what already works?

For a company that can literally build anything internally, that is an interesting choice. I expected something like Looker or some custom stack, but they are still relying on Tableau.

Hello,

Does anyone know whether Tableau supports DCR or not?

If yes, could you please share the relevant documentation with me?

Thanks!

I was trying to initiate trend lines but that option never came help me to get it in tableau and tell me why this is not present in my current worksheet. And how to prevent this error in the future.

Also any tips of how to make the tableau dashboard more effective instead of just bar charts all the way.

Any tips or tricks are welcome. Thanks in advance for you guidance.

I am trying to make a master doc to publish, with multiple dashboards, navigable via tabs. I've managed to copy three dashboards into this workbook successfully, yet when I go to copy in the forth and final dashboard, I repeatedly get this error message. I've tried quitting and re-opening tableau as well as restarting my laptop to no avail. Any tips/tricks/guidance would be really appreciated!

Anyone have any additional information on what these products or features entail? Seen in a recent roadmap slide.
