User filter does not work for some columns

ranganathan0 Apr 22, 2012 5:43 PM

I am using Tableau 6.1.4 (OEM version). I find a strange behavior. I can create user filter for some columns and it does work. But for one column it does not. In fact it loses the settings. When I go back to edit, it is gone. I tried using a calculated field as a proxy but same result. The does does not mention any additional criteria for the user filter.

One observation: This column has 514 distinct values. Perhaps that is the issue?

Hi Ranga,

This sounds like odd behavior. I would recommend sending this into our support team. You can fill
out a form at: http://www.tableausoftware.com/support/request

If possible send the packaged workbook (twbx file) that exhibits the issue.

Dont know what happened there. After a database load, it righted itself. I think there was some glitch with Tableau's temporary tables which got cleared out after a reload.
