Issue
When copying and pasting a worksheet in the same workbook connected to text file, the data source is also copied.
Last Modified Date: 30 May 2023
Environment
- Tableau Desktop
- Text file
- Packaged workbook (.twbx)
Resolution
Option 1To avoid duplicating the text data source, select Duplicate when cloning the worksheet.
Option 2
Save the workbook as a .twb file. And copy and paste the worksheets.
Cause
This behavior is by design. When saving the workbook as a packaged workbook (.twbx), the text files will be contained (zipped) in .twbx file.Additional Information
