I can't post the workbook for data confidentiality reasons, but I have a workbook with 5 tabs, all look exactly the same but are measuring different KPIs (Sales pipeline generation, bookings, meetings, new logos closed, open pipeline). They all have a summary table, two charts showing how these metrics split across teams, and one "excel sheet" type list. 4/5 of these use the same dataset (Tableau prep extract that's basically a modified opportunities report). One of those 4 is for some reason about 5 times slower than the others. There is nothing different structurally, the filters are not more complicated / higher in volume. When I edit locally, editing the sheets on that one dashboard tab are very slow (all of them), but sheets for the other dashboard tabs are not slow. I assume that means it's something to do with a field I'm using? Would rebuilding them again work? I've tried deleting aggregate expressions as filters, replacing the data source, removing fields from the dataset, etc. This also happened a few months ago with no change that triggered it
Hi Maggie,
From your description it sounds like Tableau is doing some calculations in the backend before rendering the view, but without looking at the data we can't confirm this.
Yes rebuilding the dash (or tab) can help. I usually have the sheet open on a different screen which improves the build time if you are just dragging fields onto the screen.
