2. Re: Hovering over filter name with special symbols issue
Tharashasank Davuluru Mar 4, 2016 9:38 PM (in response to deepthi.v)1 of 1 people found this helpfulHi deepthi,
The reason for this is : The browser cannot parse the special character you used.
- Replace the special character with the URL encoding sequence for backslash (\) (%5c) followed by the URL encoding sequence for the special character. The backslash is needed to escape the special character. For example, the URL encoding sequence for backslash and comma (\,) is %5c%2c.
- In the data source, separate comma-delimited field values into separate columns that can be filtered independently.
- In Tableau Desktop, use a calculated field to replace the special characters, such as commas or spaces, with hyphens (-).

Jeff D Mar 4, 2016 10:45 PM (in response to deepthi.v)1 of 1 people found this helpfulHi Deepthi, this seems like the wrong behavior for Tableau, and the other solutions suggested above don't see to work anyway. I'd contact technical support and report this as a bug.
