Environment
- Tableau Desktop
Resolution
- Open an affected workbook in Tableau Desktop.
- Right-click the data source in the 'Data' pane on the upper left hand side and select Create local copy.
- Use the Replace data source option so that the local copy is being used and close the published Tableau Server data source.
- Ensure all parameters are correct and make any necessary adjustments.
- Right-click the local copy of the data source and re-publish it to Tableau Server, overwriting the old one.
- Connect to the data source on Tableau Server and replace the data sources again, so that the published data source is in use.
- Close the local copy of the data source by right-clicking it and choosing Close.
- Save the workbook.
Cause
The internal names of the parameters do not match between the data source and the local workbook, therefore Tableau Desktop creates a copy for each mismatched parameter between the data source and the local workbook, resulting in duplicated parameters.Additional Information
