Tableau regularly updates various functions and features. Sometimes it releases new functionalities that change the way of working with Tableau<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(for example, a new data model based on relationships), on other occasions it introduces new features that make the work easier (such as dynamic zoom visibilities). At times it implements apparently invisible changes that improve certain tools. Thus, not everything is a game changer, but usually all modifications are more or less significant. In addition, updates are also released for Tableau Sever, but they are less frequent than for Desktop. The newest version, Tableau 2023.1 includes 42 changes to the entire system, and 11 of them are for Tableau Desktop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accelerator with Data Mapping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tableau Accelerators is a set of pre-built dashboards designed for data analysis. Accelerators can be downloaded from the Table Exchange website in the form of Tableau workbooks. Various types of dashboards are available \u2013 from financial (Income Statement, Accounts Payable or Balance Sheet), sales (Sales vs Quota, Sales and Margin, Sales Pipeline) to e-commerce (Google ads, Google Analytics). Some tools are designed for specific industries or departments, for example Service Desk or Telco Calls. Although accelerators are not new, the way in which you can swap sample data out for your data has changed. Until now, it was a manual process \u2013 we had to replace data sources, and in the case of other names of fields \u2013 we had to change the reference lines. In the upgraded version, Tableau has launched Data Mapper, a new functionality that allows to swap the fields out for your data through the interface. How to do that step by step:         <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 \u2013 On the Tableau Exchange website, go to the Accelerators tab and select your preferred dashboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 \u2013 After choosing the accelerator you want to use, a window with details will open, with the information about supporting data mapping:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 \u2013 Download the dashboard and open it, and a Data Mapper window will appear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 \u2013 Select Get Started and you will see a prompt to indicate your source of data, once you do that, a prompt to map the fields will appear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 \u2013 The final step is to select Replace Data and you will get a ready-to-use dashboard with your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic Axis Titles in Tableau version 2023.1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic Axis Titles is a function that users have looking forward for ages. Even though it may sound like a seemingly minor feature, it can be very useful when you work with variable measures in your charts. To illustrate this, we will take a look at what it used to be like. Let\u2019s assume you want to work with one chart to visualize various measures which can be selected using parameters. In the first step, you will create a parameter with three measures: Sales, Quantity and Profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you need to create the \u201cSelected Measure\u201d calculation field which returns the value depending on the choice made in the parameter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, create a simple line chart to demonstrate the change of the selected measure over time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention to the title of the vertical axis \u2013 it\u2019s the name of the measure, in this case \u201cSelected Measure\u201d, which doesn\u2019t tell us what that measure is. Until now, you would change the name manually, but this name would no longer be up-to-date after changing the measure in the parameter. This is where the new, long-awaited functionality comes in \u2013 Dynamic Axis Titles. Go to Edit Axis, in the section Axis Titles select a field value (if it\u2019s clear and constant) or a parameter value. Select the previously created parameter \u201eSelect Measure\u201d to get a variable axis title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature cannot be a game changer, but it will simplify the preparation of the chart with variable measures. It allows to clearly indicate what is shown on the chart, making the dashboard more accessible and transparent. Furthermore, developers no longer need to use the alternative ways to solve this issue, which will make their work much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

User Attribute Functions (UAFs)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

User Functions have been available in Tableau for some time, and they are designed to display various user attributes. The functions have their own group (User) and allow, for example, to display the username:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard user functions refer to your own Tableau account \u2013 a username or a domain used for logging in is returned. New functions \u2013 USERATTRIBUTE and USERATTRIBUTEINCLUDES are designed for connected apps. Let\u2019s imagine a scenario, in which your dashboard is supported by a web portal, where you use a connected app to log in \u2013 this is often used in the context of embedded analytics. A user, who logs into the application\/portal has certain attributes, which can be accessed through these functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these attributes, you can determine the type of information displayed in your dashboard depending on the users, and assign them to a group or hierarchy in the connected app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other new features in Tableau version 2023.1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although all other functions don\u2019t introduce any key or visible changes, it\u2019s good to know what Tableau has implemented and improved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 \u2013 New Google BigQuery connector (increased efficiency, cross-join support)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 \u2013 Cross-database joins support for Snowflake<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 \u2013 Optimization of cross-database joins for databases<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 \u2013 Access to Google Drive shared files through a connector<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 \u2013 Improvement of accelerators (KPI definitions, descriptions of calculations, documentation)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 \u2013 Tableau Extensions Code Editor (IDE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 \u2013 Optimized incremental refresh of data extracts (improved performance)       <\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 \u2013 Publishing workbooks for private space in Tableau Server<\/p>\n\n\n\n
