Unable to Select a Quick Filter Item Made with Null or Space in Drop down Menu

Published: 27 Sep 2017
Last Modified Date: 25 Nov 2019

Issue

When the quicker filter item (drop down menu) consists of single space " ", it cannot be selected on the published view or dashboard.

Environment

Tableau Server 10 and later versions

Resolution

Option 1

As a Tableau Server Administrator, upgrade to Tableau Server 10.4.3, 10.3.7 or 10.2.9. For more information, see Upgrading Tableau Server in Tableau Help.

Option 2

As a workaround, attempt to replace the space with full size space.
Note: such a workaround would work in languages that have double byte space such as Japanese.
