Hello, I imported data from excel into tableau and subsequently changed some figures in excel. However, the data in tableau is not updated even though my connection is live and i have already refreshed it! Does it mean I have to re-import data from excel and re-do everything again??
This is because your file is .twbx that's reading data from the local folder.
Here is an example.
Actual twbx file connected to excel:
I saved it and closed the file. Then I updated the data source.
I again opened the twbx file but values did not change.
And the solution is to edit your connection:
Specify path of the file and you should get the updated values.
If this helps, please mark the answer as correct and helpful.
