Naomi Pluma (Member) asked a question.
I am currently learning about Tableau in class, and I tried downloading a workbook to follow along with the professor; however, this message pops up. I'm not sure what the problem is. I tried deleting the download and starting again and continuously got the same message.
I attached the file in case anyone would like to try it out.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi @Naomi Pluma (Member) - I was able to download and open the workbook without issue using a slightly older version of the software. I did get this message, but it's just a warning that you can click OK on and it continues:
I used 2022.3 to open it. I wonder if you could download a slightly older version of Tableau that might still support older data-source types? Here's where you can download older versions from: https://www.tableau.com/support/releases That would at least get you through your exercise/class!
If you are on a student edition I'm not sure if that's possible. If you do manage to download it (and then you have 2 versions installed), be sure to open the old version first to a blank workbook, and THEN open this workbook that was shared with you - that way Tableau will open it in the older version... if you open the file from the instructor first (without Tableau already open), Tableau will choose to open in the newer version (I think!).
FWIW I was able to click through all the tabs, so it was fully functioning... I notice some of the images look like they're from much older versions of Tableau (more than 10 yrs I'm guessing?), so it could be worth the instructor updating it in general, so that new learners get good use of it... while a lot of the nuts/bolts are the same or similar, Tableau has come a long way since then, based on what I see in the workbook 😉
Best of luck to you!

a) Divide the dashboard into two planes. The left plane will feature the company logo, interaction controls, and filters for year and region. The right plane will contain 6 dynamic visualizations and 3 Key Performance Indicator (KPI) cards based on selected metrics.
o Profit Margin = total profit/ total sales
o Return Rate = quantity returned/ quantity ordered
b) Create a parameter “Metric” that will allow users to select a metric for analysis from options including sales, profit, and no. of orders (# Orders). Visualizations will dynamically adjust based on the selected metric, with titles and tooltips changing accordingly. For instance, if "sales" is chosen, the visualization will display "Sales by Category."a) Divide the dashboard into two planes.

Implement filtering options for year and region, allowing users to further refine their analysis. Include a button to hide/display both filters for improved viewing experience
a) Ensure that the dashboard consistently displays the top 5 products based on the selected metric, regardless of any filter actions or dropdown selections made by the user.
b) Implement a filter action on the category chart to dynamically filter data in the other five charts and KPI cards upon interaction.
c) Clicking on the logo should redirect users to the dashboard published on Tableau Public.
d) Display Average and Trend Lines where required.
e) Find the dashboard logo and filters logo attached below.
Hi @swapnil dhok (Member), it sounds like you could be getting started on Tableau Desktop - I think Steve above mentioned some good links to get you up and running - I'll also mention this link with some tips on getting started: https://datakatie.com/2023/09/29/tableau-desktop-resources-for-newbies/ wishing you the best of luck!
Dom Barry (Member) asked a question.
I have a dashboard with multiple bar charts.
I have set each bar chart to work as a filter by selecting 'use as filter'.
I now want to add a "reset all filters" button which impacts chart filters.
I have already:
* added a filter button
* added a filter action
* set the correct source sheets, target sheets & selected fields
When I test I use a chart to filter then press my reset button.
All the charts reset APART from the original one where the chart filter was selected are reset.
I am confused, I thought this would work.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a solution?
Thanks for getting back to me @Katie Kilroy (Member) & @Anubha Gupta (Member), happy to say I have found a solution!
My problem was that I could not reset my visuals on my dashboard and the solutions I had tried to reset filters did not work.
I found a video which provided the solution I needed, summary as follows:

Hi @Manideep Kagana (Member) ,
Please could you share a packaged workbook to help us understand what kind of data you're working with and what you're trying to achieve?
If you need to anonymise your data, please read https://community.tableau.com/s/anonymize-tableau-package-data . Please extract and upload the file as a TWBX packaged workbook
Thanks,
Mavis
Michael Vellutato (Member) asked a question.
I have taken a current visualization and attempted to utilize the extract data source from Big Query in Tableau Pulse, yet the data source extract is not available for selection. I am the admin and have full permissions in Big Query which is why this is quite confusing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hi @Michael Vellutato (Member) - is there any chance the source is published within the workbook itself (embedded in workbook)? If it is, maybe worth trying to publish the extract source separately, as this article mentions...

Hi, I think it is not possible. However, what you may do is to create a published data source using Tableau Desktop, and then use the published datasource in Tableau Prep.
If this post resolves the question, would you be so kind to "Select as Best"?. This will help other users find the same answer/resolution and help community keep track of answered questions. Thank you.
