ISMEMBEROF() function is not working

Dharmendra Ojha Dec 21, 2016 9:41 AM

Hi,

I am trying to implement group level data security. in order to that I have created a

let's say Group - G1 added 2 members m1, m2 in it.

when I am writing a calculation field ISMEMBEROF("G1") THEN 1 ELSE 0 END. it returns always 0, no matter it's m1/m2 login. am I missing something??

Thanks,

Dharam

are you logged in to Tableau Server when running this from desktop? Are you logged in to the proper site as well? What version of Tableau?

Thanks Jeff. I am using 9.0 and was connected to server.
I feel some problem with Tableau server as I logged off and login and it started showing proper results not sure about this behavior.

maybe the Tableau Server session timed out? And then when you logged in again, it reactivated the session thus allowing it to work.

I've tested it in 9.2.6 and 10.1.x and it seems to work for my needs...
