Web Data Connector breaking when joining multiple tables

Negovan Jovanovich Jul 11, 2017 11:38 AM

Has anyone run into this issue while joining Tables from a WDC? Basically as I join tables in Tableau the connector breaks. For example I have the visual below where the data comes from a WDC.

This is the data source behind the visual

As I join a 4th table, the data source seems to working fine initially (the nulls are fine in this situation)

But, if I go back to the worksheet the visual is gone

If I go back to the data source the WDC is no longer functioning

I know it's not the specific table I joined as I can view the data fine if there isn't a join. Has anyone else seen this?

Hey Negovan Jovanovich,

What version of Tableau Desktop are you using? Version 2 of the WDC requires Tableau 10.0 and later.

This was actually solved by doing all the joins with all the tables before creating a visual. It seems that adding an additional table will break the connection.
