One of the dashboards in my workbook is designed to mirror a PDF report that our users can get in a different system. I just published the workbook from Tableau Desktop into Tableau Server. In Tableau Desktop, one row of the table looks like this:

 

Why are multi-line strings in a table view truncated in Tableau Server? Is there a workaround?The fourth column (showing Programming (1.0)) is a multi-line string from a CSV file.

 

In Tableau Server, it's shown like this:

 

imageOur users will much prefer the one course per line (as shown in Desktop) instead of this truncated view. What's interesting is that when you download the dashboard view as a PDF, you see the course per line as desired.

 

Any thoughts on how to keep the multi-line string or a workaround? Much appreciated!

    Hi Brenda,

     

    If there a row identifier for each of those items? E.g. programming, aerospace etc?

     

    It might be a good idea to build the tables out rather than putting the whole field in as a cell and expecting the layout to be matched.

     

    Thanks,
