Hi, 

When i am developing the Tableau App or Get the data form Different Data Base firttime i connect and enter our credentials  and after that we save the application in my local System or Server System. But when i am opening or any chnage required in our dashboard Tableau need credential every time . It is not good or not manageble. Please give the permanent soultion because of In Qlik Sense ,Power BI they no need to many times input they enter first time and save in its repository.

Hi all, 

I'm using the new Microsoft add-in to show Pulse Metrics images into PowerPoint slides. I'm able to insert and update the images, but as soon as I add a non-Tableau image to the presentation it stops working as expected. I'm able to add new images, but not refresh the data. The following error message appears on the refresh section: "Error looking for Tableau generated images within the presentation".  

I've tested the same in Word and it's not an issue there. 

Any suggestions on how to keep the refresh functionality while including other images?  

Thanks!

When establishing the connection between Tableau and our Collibra DEV environment, As a Tableau administrator provided a User ID and token that successfully ingested both Tableau Worksheets and Tableau Data Attributes. 

Recently, we were issued a new User ID and token to configure the connection for our Collibra Dev & PROD environment. Following this change, Collibra is no longer able to fetch worksheets or data attributes. Any thoughts? 

Hi Team,

Previously, we were extracting Salesforce data into Tableau using Pentao. However, after Salesforce disabled the SOAP API, all of our existing automations and data flows stopped working. 

To address this, we have already shared the Salesforce Live System REST API details with the Tableau team. However, they are still using Pentao and executing queries through it. 

Could you please suggest a simpler and more efficient approach for connecting Salesforce with Tableau using the REST API or any other recommended integration method? Our objective is to have a reliable, maintainable, and future-proof solution. 

Our requirement is:

• The dashboard (or extract) should refresh only when the latest data for the same day is available at backend DB (for example, based on the presence of a success file or updated data in the source).
• If the updated new data is not yet available, the refresh should not RUN but instead wait and retry in the next cycle.

We would like to understand:

1. Is it possible in Tableau Server to trigger refreshes based on a success file or data availability check?
2. What are the recommended approaches to avoid unnecessary refresh failures when the source data is delayed?
3. Any guidance, best practices, or implementation examples would be highly appreciated.

Hi, 

I am starting to test the PowerPoint Add In to embed a Tableau Viz as an image. 

At the bottom of the inserted image, there is a footer that looks like: 

"Image added <Date/Time> by <UserName>" 

Is there a way to either customize this or hide it? I am not sure whether this is something done in the viz source, a Tableau Cloud setting, or a change to the Add In itself. 

Thanks! 

I updated the Athena DB connection credentials (username/password) in a Tableau workbook, and the extract refresh was working successfully after the update.

After around 5 days, I performed a web edit on the dashboard and made some changes. During this process:

• Tableau did not prompt for credentials
• While republishing, only the “Embed credentials” option was available

However, after republishing the workbook, the scheduled extract job started failing with an incorrect username/password error.

This is confusing because the credentials were already updated earlier and were working fine before the web edit.

• Why is Tableau not asking for credentials during web edit or republish?
• Does web edit/republish overwrite or remove previously saved credentials?
• Why would the extract fail with incorrect credentials even though they were updated earlier?
• Is there any known limitation or behavior with Athena connections in such scenarios?
• does role affect?
