#Tableau37 debatiendo

Hi Team,

I am a Tableau Engineer currently developing a dashboard on Tableau Cloud. Our client has requested a feature to embed a specific Google Trends explore page directly within the dashboard layout using the "Web Page" object.

• Target URL to Embed: https://trends.google.co.kr/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=US&q=spf30,spf40,spf50
• Issue Encountered: When the dashboard renders, the Web Page object fails to display the Google Trends interface and instead throws a "403. That’s an error. Sorry, that page is not accessible." message.

[Our Assessment] We suspect this is caused by Google's server-side security policies (e.g., X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN or strict Content-Security-Policy directives) preventing their pages from being iframe-embedded into third-party domains like Tableau Cloud.

[Questions for Support]

1. Is there any native configuration or workaround within Tableau Cloud (such as Safe URL settings or custom extensions) that allows bypassing or resolving this 403 error for restricted external sites like Google Trends?
2. If direct embedding via the Web Page object is technically blocked by the target host's security headers, what is the officially recommended best practice for integrating live Google Trends data?
3. Would utilizing the Google Trends API via a Web Data Connector (WDC) or an External Authorization/Analytics Extension be the right architecture to fetch and visualize this data natively within Tableau?

Looking forward to your guidance on how to fulfill this client requirement.    

Hi Team,

We have a JavaScript-based web application where Tableau dashboards are embedded and launched based on user interaction.

Current behavior:

• User clicks on the “ABC” tab
• A specific Tableau dashboard is launched

New requirement:

We need to dynamically determine which dashboard is launched based on the logged-in user’s role:

• If the user has Role A → launch “ABC” dashboard
• If the user has Role B → launch “XYZ” dashboard

Important constraint:

This logic must be handled entirely within Tableau (Tableau Server/Cloud or embedding capabilities). 

We cannot implement or modify this logic in the web application layer (JavaScript).

Expected behavior:

• Only one click on the “ABC” tab
• No intermediate/landing dashboard
• No additional navigation inside Tableau
• Dashboard should open directly based on user role

Question:

Is there any way in Tableau to dynamically switch the target dashboard/URL at runtime based on the logged-in user’s role, without relying on application-side logic?

Are there any Tableau-native approaches (e.g., user functions, permissions, site roles, row-level security, or embedding configurations) that can support this behavior?

Note:

POC already implemented: 

 We have attempted a proof of concept using Dynamic Zone Visibility (DZV):

• Both dashboards are placed within the same workbook
• Each dashboard is embedded in separate containers
• Visibility is controlled using user-based logic

I wrote this snippet thinking if I look for the user's friendly name and authorizable_type like 'datasource' I can find a user that has view access to a data source. 

What am I missing below? I can see from the server web ui that the user has view access to the DS but it doesn't show up in this query 

SELECT 
	ngp.id as ngp_id
	,ngp.authorizable_id
	,ngp.authorizable_type
	,ngp.capability_id
	,cap.name AS capability_field
	,cap.display_name AS capability
	,ngp.permission	
	,ngp.grantee_id
	,ngp.grantee_type
	,g.name as group_name
	,g.system as group_system
	,g.owner_id as group_owner
	,g.minimum_site_role
	,gu.user_id
	,su.name as user_name
	,su.email as user_email
	,su.friendly_name
	,su.activated_at
	,su.state as user_state
FROM next_gen_permissions as ngp
	LEFT JOIN capabilities as cap ON ngp.capability_id = cap.id
	LEFT JOIN groups as g ON ngp.grantee_id = g.id
	LEFT JOIN group_users as gu ON ngp.grantee_id = gu.group_id
	--LEFT JOIN users AS u ON gu.user_id = u.id
	LEFT JOIN system_users AS su ON gu.user_id = su.id
WHERE (1=1)
	AND su.friendly_name ilike 'user%'
	AND ngp.authorizable_type ilike 'data%'	

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a table in Tableau (see attached screenshot). Under a single Category column, I need to display two different number formats for the metrics:

• One metric as a percentage
• Another as an absolute value

I have more than 60 metrics, and when I split the columns across multiple worksheets and place them in a dashboard, each sheet shows its own scrollbar, which makes the dashboard difficult to use.

Is there a way to:

1. Display multiple metrics with different number formats under the same category, and
2. Avoid having scrollbars on every worksheet, while still showing all metrics in a single, clean table layout?

Any help would be appreciated.
