Hi, in Mac there are two things. If you are using hostname, make sure to use the full qualified name or the ip.  

Also, which driver did you installed? I recommend you install the 8.0.33 release of the driver.   

If you are using Tableau Desktop for silicon processors use: 

If using Tableau Desktop for intel install this driver: 

Finally, you may test with this public mysql: 

To avoid conflicts make sure there is only one driver installed. 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 9.x release of the drivers may not work. 

When it says password none, it means without password.

Hi @Vinh Ton, 

In Tableau Server, scheduling is limited to daily/weekly intervals—there’s no native option to pick specific months. 

Options: 

•  Create multiple schedules (e.g., separate weekday + time combinations) 
•  For advanced control (months, specific dates): 
  •  Use tabcmd / REST API + external scheduler

About credentials issue:

•  Instead of hardcoding password, use: 
  • Personal Access Token (PAT) (recommended) 
  •  Or Run As / service account with stored credentials 

Best practice: Use PAT + Task Scheduler for secure, flexible automation

You can make a custom legend view by pasting those two measure names from the clipbpoard and assigning them colored shapes, then add that legend view to your dashboard. TWBX attached.

Hi, here are my comments. I created an approved status calculation:

{FIXED [Document Number]: 
   IF MAX([Status] = 'Approved'  
      AND CONTAINS(UPPER([Comments]), 'APPROVED'))
      AND COUNT([Comments])> 1 
   THEN "Approved with Changes"
   ELSEIF MAX([Status] = 'Approved'  
      AND CONTAINS(UPPER([Comments]), 'APPROVED'))
      AND COUNT([Comments])= 1 
   THEN "Approved without Changes"
   ELSE "Not Approved"
   END
}

With this simple variable, you can merge all the info in a single sheet, using simple COUNTD.  Finally, for the turn around, you may use:

{FIXED [Document Number]: 
    IF MAX([Approved Status])<>"Not Approved" THEN
    DATEDIFF("day",MIN([Created Date]),MAX([Completed Date]))
    END
}

Finally, you may get a Dashboard like this: 

Note that to simplify filtering, I created a Min Create Date field.

Hi @Madhavi Vontikommu, 

If your tooltip isn't showing on a dimension in Tableau, the setup is usually correct. 

Key point:

• Tooltips don't work on dimension headers (Rows/Columns)
• They only work on marks (cells/text area in the view)

What to do:

• Just hover over the cell/text area, not the dimension label.

Suggestion:

• Make it a text table and increase cell size so it's easier to hover.

This is a Tableau limitation, not a configuration issue

Appreciate the help Diego. The problem I'm having is that I can't get to the step where I can provide the Tableau Cloud meta. After step 4 (on the Tableau Cloud site), when I press "Save and Continue" I get "An unexpected error occurred while processing your request. Try again".  No details and there is no button that tells you where to see what the error was. 

Let me go back to my IdP and make sure they are generating the metafile correctly and then I'll report back. In the meantime, if you know how where Tableau Cloud stores it's log file, that would be helpful.

Hi, currently (Feb 26, 2026) you would need to create a DLO from a recipe (requirement for the recipe is to have one input, and one output) 

Once, you have run your receipe, that will create a DLO in Data 360.  I recommend you, that after creating the DLO, you also create a Custom DMO. 

a. In Data 360 (Data Cloud) go to Data Lake Objects tab, and select your newly created DLO  

c. Save and Close. 

d. In Tableau Next, Create a Workspace, then a semantic model using your DMO, and you are ready to create vizzes. 

Why I recommend you to use the DMO? 

DMO are more flexible than DLO.  So, let's say you want to change your datasource from the output of the recipe, to a database connection.  In that case, you would only need to create the Data Stream, and the respective DLO, map the DLO to the existing DMO, and remove the mapping of the old DLO.  That way, using the DMO is easy to change the source of the data.  If new fields, just add new fields to the DMO and add the mapping of the fields from the DLO.  

Let's say, you have some kind of hybrid deployment Tableau Cloud - Tableau Next - Tableau CRMA (so you are using the data in Tableau Cloud and Tableau Next).  If this is the case, you can output your recipe to Tableau Cloud and then you can use Tableau Next to connect to your Tableau Cloud Published Datasource. 

Why this approach? (you may still create the DLO-DMO and connect Tableau Cloud to the DLO-DMO you published).  Because, the cost of Data Cloud queries will be reduced when running Tableau Cloud queries and results sent to Data 360 (Tableau Cloud would execute the queries, and the result is sent to Data 360).  Instead if you use a Tableau Cloud to Data 360 Connection, the cost of queries would increase (because Data 360 would run the queries against the DLO/DMO, that involves Data 360 credits running the queries), and the result sent to Tableau Cloud.

Hi, 

Here are the results after adjusting the FIXED level of detail in the calculated field. 

1)Use Fixed. 

 2)Use Include

*The FIXED function uses a fixed level of detail, while the INCLUDE function aggregates dynamically based on the contents of the view.
