Tableau Cloud 2026.3 – Dashboard Navigation Buttons Not Working After Upgrade

 Hi Tableau Community,

We are experiencing an issue with dashboard navigation in Tableau Cloud after upgrading to version 2026.3. Below are the details of the issue.

1. Workbook Details

  • Our workbook contains four dashboards: Dashboard 1, Dashboard 2, Dashboard 3, Dashboard 4.
  • Each dashboard has navigation buttons for all four dashboards.
  • Users can click these buttons to navigate from one dashboard to another.

2. Issue

  • Before the Tableau Cloud 2026.3 upgrade, all navigation buttons were working as expected.
  • After the upgrade, clicking any navigation button causes a pop-up to appear and remain on the screen.
  • The navigation does not complete, and the user cannot access the selected dashboard.

3. Observations

  • The pop-up displays messages such as:
    • Processing request
    • Computing models
    • Preparing results
  • The pop-up continues spinning without completing the request.
  • After approximately one hour, an error appears.

4. Questions

  • Has anyone experienced a similar issue after upgrading to Tableau Cloud 2026.3?
  • Could this be related to the recent Tableau Cloud upgrade?
  • Are there any settings, known issues, or workarounds we should check to resolve this problem?

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

    Hi,

    I created two simple dashboards as a test and set up navigation between them. The navigation appears to be working correctly in Tableau Cloud 2026.3.0. To help isolate the issue, could you try reproducing this behavior in your environment as well?

    If the simple workbook works as expected, I think the next step will be to investigate and isolate the differences between it and your workbook. Depending on the findings, we may need to open a support case and have Salesforce support assist with further investigation.

Tableau 2021.1 not responding on my gaming laptop

Hello everyone,

 

I'm experiencing an issue with Tableau 2021.1 on my gaming laptop [https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/d/gaming-laptops]. Every time I try to load a data source, the software freezes and stops responding. I've tried reinstalling the software and restarting my laptop, but the issue persists.

 

I'm running Windows 10 on my gaming laptop, and I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics card. I'm not sure if this is a compatibility issue or if there's something else going on. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions for a solution?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you.

    Since reinstalling didn’t help, it might be worth checking whether Tableau is using the dedicated NVIDIA GPU or the integrated graphics. Updating the graphics driver and testing with hardware acceleration disabled could also help narrow down the issue.

Hyperfile in one Workbook filtering another workbook

I have a very large workbook that has several hyper files as data sources.  I have checked each worksheet in this workbook and I do not have context filters in place.  However, every time I filter a specific hyper file by academic year, it appears to add that to context and will not change the filter when I try to change to another year.  It is also filtering other workbooks connected to that same hyper file.  For example, if I filter my large workbook to academic year 2023 and then try to show all academic years in a completely separate workbook referencing the same hyper file, it will still only show the 2023 year.  I don't understand why this is happening and I don't know how to correct it.  Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Do you know a way to correct it?

    Hi,@haruto nakamura

     

    thank you for your response. One suggestion for future reference: combining related explanations into a single post, rather than splitting them across multiple posts, would make it easier for the person asking the question to follow the steps and understand how they connect. I would appreciate it if you could consider this as a way to make your answers easier to read.

The chart color is change if extract refresh

Hi, I have several charts. For example, 2025 is yellow and 2026 is green. Then I extract refresh the dashboard and all the colors change: 2025 is red and 2026 is blue. After that, I change 2025 to yellow and 2026 to green, but when I extract refresh the colors change again to red and blue. This happens on Tuesday, on Monday all is fine. 

 

I try to update Tableau desktop or create new graph, but it keeps happening.

    Hi @Dila Azuri,

    Tableau saves custom colors against the exact value of the field on Color. If the value looks different after a refresh (a different data type, a trailing space, or a dynamic field like “Current Year”), Tableau treats it as new and gives default colors. Since it only happens on Tuesday, something in that day’s data probably changes.

    Try this:

    1. Put a fixed field on Color instead of the original field:
    STR(YEAR([Order Date]))

    Set 2025 to yellow and 2026 to green again.

    1. Save or republish the workbook.
    2. After the next Tuesday refresh, compare the values in the legend with Monday’s. They should be identical.

    If it still changes, please share your Tableau version and the field used on Color.

Linked text (to external webpage) in Text Box

Is is the case in 2026 that Tableau STILL lacks the functionality to add linked text within a text box?  

 

[e.g., For more info, go to the Tableau Help page.] 

 

It's a bit ridiculous that something that seems so relatively simple is still not implemented this many years later. I am aware there are many convoluted workarounds to achieve this effect, however, in my opinion, it shows how little this company (as it is now) respects their loyal customers to still not have this functionality available.

    I agree, adding clickable links within text boxes seems like a basic feature that should be available by now. Workarounds can help, but they often make things more complicated than necessary. Hopefully Tableau considers adding this in a future update.

Requesting Feedback On Tableau Visualization: Hotel Booking Patterns Research

Hello everyone 

 

I am developing a data visualization project using Tableau with a hotel dataset that contains booking records for city and resort type of hotels, and related data such as guest details, pricing, and cancellations, to name a few. 

 

I have drafted 4 visualizations which will eventually be consolidated into a single dashboard. 

 

Please visit the visualization link here. 

 

The visualizations were developed to answer these research questions (in the same order):  

 

Q1. How do cancellation rates differ by market segment and deposit type for City Hotel and Resort Hotel? 

 

Q2: How do booking volume and average length of stay change throughout the year, and does the pattern differ by distribution channel and customer type? 

 

Q3: What geographic patterns can be identified in cancellation rates across guests’ countries of origin, and what booking characteristics are associated with these patterns? 

 

Q4: What booking profiles can be identified based on lead time and waiting-list duration, and how do they differ by room assignment, customer type, repeat-guest status, and number of special requests?  

 

For each research question (visualization), may I request your feedback on (one or more of) based on these questions?: 

 

A. Is the chart type appropriate? If not, could you please recommend a more appropriate one along with what measures to use? 

 

B. Do any of the colors/color scheme need to be changed? 

 

C. Do you recommend mark labels? If so, for all, or for high/low only? 

 

D. Hovering over the visualization shows more details but does it look like cognitive overload? Would you recommend splitting the visualization into two or more instead? 

 

E. Do you have (any) other feedback or best practice using data visualization principles to improve this? 

 

Thank you very much in advance!

    Your hotel booking data visualization project covers great foundational research questions, especially comparing cancellation rates across market segments and analyzing seasonal length of stay patterns. To give you constructive feedback on your draft dashboard components, your chart types for market segment comparisons and seasonal trends generally work well, though ensuring consistent color coding between city and resort hotels will help prevent visual clutter. 

     

    When presenting cancellation rates by country of origin, consider using a filled map or a sorted horizontal bar chart rather than trying to cram too many data points into a single view, as high-density hover details can sometimes lead to cognitive overload. Splitting complex geographic and lead-time distributions into smaller, focused panels will make the underlying trends much easier for your audience to digest at a glance. 

     

    Finally, to improve overall data storytelling, apply mark labels selectively to extreme high and low outliers rather than cluttering every single data point. You can also use tooltips strategically to surface guest details and special request counts on demand, keeping your primary views clean while still providing deep exploratory depth for anyone reviewing your research.

Has anyone got tableau server to work on smart TV

Was looking to display a tableau dashboard on Samsung 65 inch TV. Can we know the best option to display dashboards on Smart TV's:

 

Option 1:

I tried connecting my laptop to TV(Android) through HDMI port and adjusted screen resolution in my laptop to view & interact b/w dashboards. All working well if the view fits exactly to the screen. If the view has a vertical scroll bar(i.e. if height is more than the resolution) , we also getting horizontal scroll bar at bottom. I tried decreasing the width size but no luck. Is there something that if we have a vertical scroll bar, we also get horizontal scroll bar? . Need your help fixing this.

 

Option2:

I know we don't have tableau application for smart TV. Can we launch the URL directly in TV Normal browser window to view & interact b/w dashboards? i tried but it didn't work. I couldn't see Google Chrome browser in my android TV.

    Both options should work, it sounds like you just need to adjust the dashboard size accordingly. There is no app for SmartTV and you should check the licensing whether you are allowed to do this or not - a few years ago you would have been breaking the EULA, but I don't know these days.

Tableau tableau viz extension column filter option not appearing

I am using the Tableau table viz extension and when I click on the "Format Extension" button, the "Show Column Filters" option does not appear. Below is what I see and I have also attached a test workbook to show this. I am on the latest version 2026.2.3.

This is what I would expect to see based on everything I have looked at online.

Is there something else I am missing or has this functionality been removed? 

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

Issue with Tableau 2025.3 Apple Silicon connecting to tableau server

Hello All,

I’m using Tableau Desktop 2025.3 on an Apple Silicon Mac and connecting to our Tableau Server at:

https://mytableau.nameoforg.org

Issue summary:

Expected behavior:

Observed behavior:

  • fs.nameoforg.org appears to be treated as the Tableau Server during workbook open
  • Connection fails at that step

Environment:

Repro steps:

  1. Open Tableau Desktop
  2. Sign in to Tableau Server at https://mytableau.nameoforg.org
  3. Authenticate through the NYU login flow (https://fs.nameoforg.org)
  4. Return to Tableau Server and view available workbooks
  5. Select a workbook and click Open
  6. Tableau prompts for server sign-in again, showing https://fs.nameoforg.org
  7. Error appears: “Cannot connect to Tableau Server. Please check the server name and port and try again.”

I tried using agentforce to address this issue, and recommended using default browser to auth. I did the change and now this is the error that I'm getting:  

 

Unable to complete action 

Authentication failed. 

Error Code: 84223ADA 

Tableau received an OAuth error from your request.  Please see the error message for more information: Use JsonReader.setStrictness(Strictness.LENIENT) to accept malformed JSON at line 3 column 1 path $ 

See

https://github.com/google/gson/blob/main/Troubleshooting.md#malformed-json

. 

 

Can't seem to get tableau to work on macOS. I can use it on a VDI on windows but I rather use my own hardware since it is faster.

    This looks like an SSO or OAuth configuration issue, especially since the login redirects to a different domain when opening workbooks. It may be worth checking the server’s authentication settings and redirect URLs with the Tableau admin. Hopefully, there’s a fix that lets you use Tableau Desktop on your Mac without relying on the Windows VDI.
