When users export data/crosstab from Tableau Server, certain characters gets garbled in the process. First of all the thousand separator which is a bit of a problem for anyone who wants to do some additional work in, say, excel.

Is there a way to get data export on a european friendly format?

Secondly local characters gets handled badly:

Suppose to look like this:

Our locale would be Norwegian but I expect German, French, Swedish, Danish etc. would have similar problems. Is there a trick/config to fix this? If not does anyone know what buttons to push with Tableau to get support for non US formats?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Stephan,

    Did you find a solution for this issue?

     

    We have users spread over several countries with different system localizations, and are experiencing the same challenges exporting crosstabs.

     

    Best regards,

    Pål
