Thanks for your reply!
Do you mean that I should refresh my extract if I'm using it?

Rody Zakovich May 29, 2015 8:28 AM (in response to Hongjun Liu)Yes, if you are using an Extract you have to refresh it in order to pull in the new data.
If you have Tableau Server, you can schedule a refresh at whatever times you need.
The reason it is working when you replace data source, is because when you pull in the new addition, it is bringing in all of the new rows in that Extract.

4. Re: Data source updating issues
Hongjun Liu May 29, 2015 8:31 AM (in response to Rody Zakovich)Another issue is that when I replace the data source, some of the formatting were changed such as the color, the location of the worksheet on the dashboard and so on.
Do we have some ways to get rid of this?
Thank you Rody
