Tableau Feed

I have a text table on my dashboard. It has 899 rows by 1 column and a search bar parameter. I can scroll the table and search results on the desktop application. Once I upload to the Server, I can not vertically scroll on any of my text tables. I am part of a public university, so access to a text table is a requirement of the new WCAG for all data visualization, as well. Therefore, the text tables must work. 

The Server release is 2025.3, and the Desktop app is also 2025.3. The desktop was a newer version, but the university said to keep them matching, so I de-updated the application.

Hi Tableau Community,

I’m experiencing some challenges in combining data to create a hyper file, as I believe this would simplify the process of updating a 3-line chart with a new Excel worksheet each month. In Tableau Prep, one of the worksheets contains a unique column that differs from the others, which I need to retain for comparison purposes. However, when I connect it to Tableau Desktop, the data doesn’t read correctly.

Additionally, I’ve created a bar chart to compare the total number of documents (Actual Submission Total and Publish Date Total). However, it appears a bit unusual because all the months are displayed, which I suspect is due to the way the data is structured.

Could you please assist me with both of these issues?

Thank you! 

I work for a school district, meaning most of my dashboards are not used throughout the summer. Since tableau automatically suspends any extract refreshes that are not accessed for over 32 days, this means I often get the notification that Tableau wants to stop refreshing my extracts to save resources. I also have several views that we need to look at incredibly frequently, but only seasonally (e.g. I need to be able to check students' test scores daily, but only in the months that they test). 

The reality is that I have no need to refresh these extracts daily year round, but I do need them refreshing daily for the relevant timeframes. Is there a way to schedule extracts so that they refresh daily for some time period (say October thru June, or just the month of January or something), and then stop refreshing until the the same time next year? 

I have a data set about student enrollment. It includes several enrollment statuses such as Returned and Graduated. These fields have values of zero and one. Each student should have exactly one status with a value of 1, while the rest should be zero. I would like to validate this by making Tableau Desktop total the students' values and see if each student's total is one or not.  

The problem is that Tableau Desktop won't let me use Row Totals. Can you explain why, and how would you recommend performing the validation? A workbook with sample data is attached.

I am a super beginner with Tableau, and we just implemented it into our Salesforce org. I am trying to connect the object FiscalYearSettings_Home which is a data stream coming into Tableau Cloud. I have it populating but it is not showing current year 2026 or next year 2027 which are custom Fiscal Calendars created in our org settings. It does populate all previous years.  

I have tried:

1. Refreshing the data stream
2. Rebuilding the data stream

Can someone please give me a pointer to get current year I really want to avoid a manual upload yearly of fiscal calendar and unfortunately, we do not follow a standard cadence of 4-4-5 etc. 

I've just updated to Tableau Public 2026.2.0, and am now unable to publish a workbook that I was happily publishing previously. . When I select 'select 'Run Optimizer' I get the following error message: 

Unexpected error 

Error: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'apply') 

Followed by: 

Unexpected Error 

HybridDialog JS is not responding across webchannel. Aborting show 

Error Code: 2B2D38E4 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. 

When I publish a workbook to Tableau Cloud, the headers render white instead of black. When I reopen the workbook in Tableau Desktop, the headers display correctly in black. The issue appears to be specific to the publish/rendering process on Tableau Cloud. 

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known fix or workaround that doesn't require me to just make text object headers?
