Resolution
Use one of the following workarounds:- Fully refresh the extract. For more information, see Refreshing Extracts.
-
Add a new column to the database that is updated with a new unique value any time a row is changed.
Tell Tableau to use this field as its key field in the incremental extract.
This will trigger Tableau to recognize that a row has changed and re-append the row to the end of the extract, saving time updating the extracts.
Cause
The ability to modify or delete existing records in an extract is not currently available.Additional Information
