Hi all
Has any one else experienced the issue that the Sankey Viz extension doesn’t install when trying to complete the “Add a Stanley Viz Extension to your worksheet” module? Also Table Viz Extension.
I’ve tried many times, made sure Tableau public is connected. Etc etc.
Any idea? Or it’s a know issue.
Would really like to finish the Tableau: Data Visualisation and Storytelling Trail by completing the Viz Extentions in Tableau Worksheets badge.
#Tableau #TrailheadThis one is almost always the browser blocking the extension rather than anything wrong with your steps - viz extensions load inside a sandboxed iframe served from an external host, so anything that blocks that iframe stops Sankey/Table from ever appearing.
A few things to check, in order:
- Launch the unit fresh from Trailhead and sign in to your Tableau Public account inside that playground window. Don't refresh or reopen the tab mid-unit - the playground resets and you lose the extension - so do the whole unit in one sitting.
- When you pick the extension under Marks card > Add an Extension, watch for the permission prompt and click Allow/Open. Network-enabled extensions will not run until you grant that.
- Try a clean Chrome window (or Incognito with third-party cookies allowed) and turn off ad-blockers / strict tracking protection for the session. That is the usual reason the extension silently fails to load.
- Make sure JavaScript is enabled - viz extensions use the Tableau Extensions API JavaScript library, so a blocked script means no extension.
If this helps, please mark it as the Best Answer so it helps the next person - thanks!
