I have no idea how or why i dragged Lat and Long! I blame dad brain. You can see at the start i have a different chart so i must have just lost the plot / tunnel vision with the instruction.
I instantly downloaded the new version of Tableau after I saw your LI post on this. It's a really cool extension that will get some requests off my back! There are still a few things to improve though. It still chokes if you try to put 1 million rows in the Tableau table. Because of the way I believe Tableau aggregates first thing in a viz, it needs to look at all data at once and probably can't do pagination first thing (although maybe the extension will allow that at once point). That does match the Excel limitation though haha. I noticed the tooltips are off though if I have a large table and I put a Tableau filter on it (separate from the table extension filter). The tooltip doesn't seem to recognize that some records are filtered out and shows what would be there without it. But I just turn them off since there's little point in tooltips when you can look at the entire table.
Love this ext. but is this a Tableau owned viz extension or something like supertables which is owned by infotopics? Reason I ask is being from the health care industry we need to have contracts created. We are already partnered with Tableau.
It’s supported. Your admins need to do the installation. This is where I think admins needs to catchup a little bit with their perspective on how extensions work especially extensions built by Tableau the vendor of their platform.
Not yet. Interestingly you could build this on another sheet and put it on the same dashboard and just make sure they’re linked up in terms of actions as a makeshift solution.
Hello Tim! Does it have the drill functionality of the "SuperTables" viz extension? Wherein, if you drill down, only that row will expand, the rest will remain as-is. Thanks!
No. I think tableau respect super tables for what it is. You could build some interaction in a dashboard to solve for this. Additionally you can use set actions potentially to adapt the field you use in details to create this effect
Has anyone else experienced issues with Viz extensions when your resultant viz is embedded? This new tables extension looks interesting, but I am reluctant to devote too much time to trying it out if they don't display properly in embedded vizzes.
its supported in 24.2 Server yes. It would work exactly the same as tableau cloud. the extensions is hosted by tableau so its the same backend on cloud or server given how extensions work.
Thought this was great until I implemented it on a dashboard and realised it won’t export as a PDF, it just goes blank. So disappointing as was hoping to use this for a management dashboard.
Yes this has been the case for viz extensions. Out of interested if you create a pdf what do you expect to happen? Multiple pages of the table or just what’s on screen? You can export to excel and pdf that instead.
@@TableauTim just what is on the screen in the PDF as I have it set up as a subscription. The problem is for that workaround I’d have to do it manually and it doesn’t keep the conditional formatting when you export it to excel.
@Laura-JayneSimms it did keep my formatting to excel as much as is supported for the colour and bars. But the conditional natured doesn’t adapt in excel if you then say edit the figure. Understand the issue though if it’s just one dashboard I think screenshot is fine if your heading to a pdf, it takes the same amount of time but if your doing batch reporting plus you need no touch automation, absolutely makes sense.
It’s not 💯 I think because of the way the table works especially with text and numbers it’s maybe an addition to follow. The bars and colour tyoes would t work with totals unless you just want tos we the number as text?

It appears automatically when you drag field with geographic role I guess
Great overview. Surprisingly good for a 1.0!

Great extension, definitely we will use it.

It is Tableau owned so there shouldn't be a need for another contract :)
Hi Tim.. thanks for the information… how about extension for Tableau Server?
It’s supported. Your admins need to do the installation. This is where I think admins needs to catchup a little bit with their perspective on how extensions work especially extensions built by Tableau the vendor of their platform.
Is it possible to add total rows or format the headers in anyway in the new extension ? Many thanks great video !

Can we add a spark lines to this chart if the data is for dimension time series?
Not currently an option. I covered all the current options in the interface
about freaking time
Hope it will support pivot table function!!!
Great suggestion
Is this working well on Tableau Server?
its supported in 24.2 Server yes. It would work exactly the same as tableau cloud. the extensions is hosted by tableau so its the same backend on cloud or server given how extensions work.
@@TableauTim I appreciate your quick and full answer, thank you

I think they do not have total for row and columns, or did I just miss it
