Hello All

 

I have a table in Tableau and there is a text column called Status and a submitter name in it. Status column can contain any string data or it could be blank. eg, someone changed Status field for a particular record as "In Plan" from "Not In Plan". I want to set an alert that whenever there is a change in Status column then the submitter gets an alert.

 

Can you please help me how can I achieve this?

 

Thank you in advance.

    This isn't something Tableau is designed for. You load data into Tableau for visualisation, it has no record of what that "same" data looked like last time you extracted it. To track changes, you would need to have a change record for each change, either a transaction table of each items status with a timestamp, or snapshotted data, i.e. a new record for every time a field changed with a time period that record was valid for, then you could test whether there had been any changes in a defined period. Since you can't change the data from within Tableau (without an extension), then there's nothing native that you can trigger to say something changed.
