1. Re: publish workbook from tableau desktop to tableau online - data source cant be viewed or edited
suman kumar Aug 31, 2018 6:43 AM (in response to John Lu)Hi,
What exactly you are trying to do. I'm too using Tableau online and I too don't have option to edit(Greyed).
Can you please explain bit more what exactly you want to do.

John Lu Aug 31, 2018 6:52 AM (in response to suman kumar)When I am working in tableau desktop, I have the option to edit and view my source data so I assume I have that option when using tableau online.
Do you know which user type or tableau type has that option since it is a option for some "people"? The option is there for a reason I assume? I thought I have the same functionality as tableau desktop that's all.

You'll have to make the changes locally then either update the data source or republish your workbook. I guess you could say that Tableau does not create a "live" link to write or change data on your local machine. You can see more in this conversation How do I edit a published data source? and some more information from Tableau here: Editing a Published Data Source | Tableau Software
I hope this helps fill in the blanks as to why it works this way.
Thanks,
Brandon

I am not sure but once your data will be published on Tableau online then you can see it visible to edit.
You can test it.
