Hi, your best option is to query the metadata api.  A basic query may look like: 

query databases{
  databases (filter: {connectionType: "db2"}){
    name
    connectionType
		tables{
      name
      downstreamDatasources{
        name
        projectName
      }
    }
  }
}

You get a result with something like:

{
  "data": {
    "databases": [
      {
        "name": "Rfam",
        "connectionType": "db2",
        "tables": [
          {
            "name": "author",
            "downstreamDatasources": [
              {
                "name": "Test MyDb2 Bridge",
                "projectName": "default"
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Hi, @karim salem

Here is the official Salesforce page that explains the Tableau Table feature.  

Based on the image you shared, it already includes the points you mentioned, so it appears to be the intended behavior.  

Hopefully future version updates will improve this.

The left blank area appears to work as a row selector. Clicking it highlights the entire row, while clicking a cell highlights only that cell. 

This may be intentional to support row-level highlighting, which has been a common request for Tableau text tables. 

However, it would be helpful to have options to show/hide this row selector area or enable row highlighting when clicking any cell in the row.

Tableau is always accepting new Ideas, so why not consider submitting one? If it receives enough upvotes, Tableau may take it into account in future development. Please give it some thought.

Hi, @Wiwit Setyaningsih

For example, as shown in the figure, it is possible to aggregate the Intercompany values in Group2 or Group3, but without knowing what your data looks like or what result you want to achieve, it may be difficult to give appropriate advice. 

@Venkat M

Hi, this is a wonderful case for Sets. 

You just need to create a Set on Product Container (Right clic on the field on the data pane, and select Create Set) 

Then, you just need to create to calculated fields:

[Product Container Set]

NOT [Product Container Set]

After that, use each of the calculated fields on the respective sheet. 

Finally, in the Dashboard, Clic on the little arrow of one of the sheets, then Sets, and show Set Control.

I don't see an attachment, but I downloaded your workbook and looked at it, then updated the first sheet so that the link works. 

This is what I changed: 

1. Changed the Link field on Marks from Attribute to Dimension, and from Tooltip to Detail, as in the screenshot below. 

2. Added a URL action (from the menu Worksheet --> Actions), as below. 

This tells it do display a menu item "Go to web page" in the tooltip, and that will open the correct link: 

I also added a dashboard in which a similar action executes on clicking each dot, and opens the web page within the dashboard in a Web Page object. You should be able to figure that one out for yourself. 

The workbook is attached. 

Hi @Carl McKinney

You can try to edit the .twb file, which is basically an xml file, and modify any connections (file locations) manually. 

In order to get to it, the .twbx file is a zipped up folder with the .twb file and the data. Open it using 7-zip or some other program, unzip, and you'll see the .twb file, then open that with Notepad++ (or similar). 

I looked at your file and there are two data sources there, with several connections. Modifying them to point at the correct files may solve the problem. Here's a sample connection string from your file (row 66):

<connection class='excel-direct' cleaning='no' compat='no' dataRefreshTime='' filename='/Users/bigkid/Desktop/ASES 2022:23-2023:24 Survey ALL.xlsx' interpretationMode='0' server='' validate='no' workgroup-auth-mode='as-is' />

After modifying, just open the .twb file again in Tableau Desktop.
