Was looking to display a tableau dashboard on Samsung 65 inch TV. Can we know the best option to display dashboards on Smart TV's:

 

Option 1:

I tried connecting my laptop to TV(Android) through HDMI port and adjusted screen resolution in my laptop to view & interact b/w dashboards. All working well if the view fits exactly to the screen. If the view has a vertical scroll bar(i.e. if height is more than the resolution) , we also getting horizontal scroll bar at bottom. I tried decreasing the width size but no luck. Is there something that if we have a vertical scroll bar, we also get horizontal scroll bar? . Need your help fixing this.

 

Option2:

I know we don't have tableau application for smart TV. Can we launch the URL directly in TV Normal browser window to view & interact b/w dashboards? i tried but it didn't work. I couldn't see Google Chrome browser in my android TV.

    Both options should work, it sounds like you just need to adjust the dashboard size accordingly. There is no app for SmartTV and you should check the licensing whether you are allowed to do this or not - a few years ago you would have been breaking the EULA, but I don't know these days.

I am using the Tableau table viz extension and when I click on the "Format Extension" button, the "Show Column Filters" option does not appear. Below is what I see and I have also attached a test workbook to show this. I am on the latest version 2026.2.3.  

Tableau tableau viz extension column filter option not appearing

 

This is what I would expect to see based on everything I have looked at online.

Is there something else I am missing or has this functionality been removed? 

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

    @Christie Smith looks like it's been moved to Table Settings.  Click on the icon for Table Settings, just above the column headers and you'll see the dialog box containing the function you're looking for:looks like it's been moved to Table Settings.If this response answered your question, please mark it as an Accepted Answer?

Hello everyone 

 

I am developing a data visualization project using Tableau with a hotel dataset that contains booking records for city and resort type of hotels, and related data such as guest details, pricing, and cancellations, to name a few. 

 

I have drafted 4 visualizations which will eventually be consolidated into a single dashboard. 

 

Please visit the visualization link here. 

 

The visualizations were developed to answer these research questions (in the same order):  

 

Q1. How do cancellation rates differ by market segment and deposit type for City Hotel and Resort Hotel? 

 

Q2: How do booking volume and average length of stay change throughout the year, and does the pattern differ by distribution channel and customer type? 

 

Q3: What geographic patterns can be identified in cancellation rates across guests’ countries of origin, and what booking characteristics are associated with these patterns? 

 

Q4: What booking profiles can be identified based on lead time and waiting-list duration, and how do they differ by room assignment, customer type, repeat-guest status, and number of special requests?  

 

For each research question (visualization), may I request your feedback on (one or more of) based on these questions?: 

 

A. Is the chart type appropriate? If not, could you please recommend a more appropriate one along with what measures to use? 

 

B. Do any of the colors/color scheme need to be changed? 

 

C. Do you recommend mark labels? If so, for all, or for high/low only? 

 

D. Hovering over the visualization shows more details but does it look like cognitive overload? Would you recommend splitting the visualization into two or more instead? 

 

E. Do you have (any) other feedback or best practice using data visualization principles to improve this? 

 

Thank you very much in advance!

I have a very large workbook that has several hyper files as data sources.  I have checked each worksheet in this workbook and I do not have context filters in place.  However, every time I filter a specific hyper file by academic year, it appears to add that to context and will not change the filter when I try to change to another year.  It is also filtering other workbooks connected to that same hyper file.  For example, if I filter my large workbook to academic year 2023 and then try to show all academic years in a completely separate workbook referencing the same hyper file, it will still only show the 2023 year.  I don't understand why this is happening and I don't know how to correct it.  Has anyone else seen this behavior?  Do you know a way to correct it?

    3. **Check Live Connection Shared Paths:** 

       - If multiple workbooks are connecting live to a shared `.hyper` file on a network drive, any structural or data source modification can cross-contaminate. 

     

    I hope this helps point you in the right direction to isolate and fix the filter scope!

Hello All,

I’m using Tableau Desktop 2025.3 on an Apple Silicon Mac and connecting to our Tableau Server at:

https://mytableau.nameoforg.org

Issue summary:

Expected behavior:

Observed behavior:

  • fs.nameoforg.org appears to be treated as the Tableau Server during workbook open
  • Connection fails at that step

Environment:

Repro steps:

  1. Open Tableau Desktop
  2. Sign in to Tableau Server at https://mytableau.nameoforg.org
  3. Authenticate through the NYU login flow (https://fs.nameoforg.org)
  4. Return to Tableau Server and view available workbooks
  5. Select a workbook and click Open
  6. Tableau prompts for server sign-in again, showing https://fs.nameoforg.org
  7. Error appears: “Cannot connect to Tableau Server. Please check the server name and port and try again.”

I tried using agentforce to address this issue, and recommended using default browser to auth. I did the change and now this is the error that I'm getting:  

 

Unable to complete action 

Authentication failed. 

Error Code: 84223ADA 

Tableau received an OAuth error from your request.  Please see the error message for more information: Use JsonReader.setStrictness(Strictness.LENIENT) to accept malformed JSON at line 3 column 1 path $ 

See

https://github.com/google/gson/blob/main/Troubleshooting.md#malformed-json

. 

 

Can't seem to get tableau to work on macOS. I can use it on a VDI on windows but I rather use my own hardware since it is faster.

    This looks like an SSO or OAuth configuration issue, especially since the login redirects to a different domain when opening workbooks. It may be worth checking the server’s authentication settings and redirect URLs with the Tableau admin. Hopefully, there’s a fix that lets you use Tableau Desktop on your Mac without relying on the Windows VDI.

Whenever I try to Run Optimizer from the Server menu, I get this error:  

Run Optimizer not working in Tableau Desktop

    That error looks like something worth checking on the Tableau side, especially since it happens directly when launching Run Optimizer. Hopefully one of the replies can identify whether it’s a version issue or a problem with the workbook setup.

    select one of the measures in the legend, then drag & drop in the placement you desire.  It's likely as simple as that. See if that works? 

     

    Example: I want ms moved up to top:

    select one of the measures in the legend, then drag & drop in the placement you desire. It's likely as simple as that. See if that works?Drag and drop to top:Screenshot 2026-10-08 at 8.03.00 AM.pngAnd it's been moved.Screenshot 2026-10-08 at 8.04.33 AM.png

    Obviously these are dimensions, but should work for measures as well.

The summary of my problem is that I am using Measure Names as a filter on multiple sheets and I would like to apply the same filter across the multiple sheets. 

 

As it is known, this option is unavailable for Measure Values. 

 

I do not see pivoting the data as an option, as my measures have varying formats. I also cannot implement a parameter, as I want to be able to select many measures at once. Also, I would like the solution to be adaptable to data and workbook updates if new measures are added. 

 

I am open to additional suggestions and solutions. 

 

I am using Tableau version 2025.3.

    I can see why the usual workarounds wouldn’t fit here, especially with different measure formats. Being able to apply the same Measure Names filter across selected worksheets would make this much easier to manage. Hopefully there’s a clean solution that doesn’t require changing the underlying data.
