Column-level data quality warnings: New in Tableau 2022.3

Tableau 2022.3 finally lets you flag data quality issues right down to the column level.

Part ofWhat's new in Tableau 2022.3
  • Tableau 2022.3 lets you add data quality warnings at the column level, not just the data source level
  • Column-level warnings require Tableau Data Management (the lineage tab) to be enabled
  • You set the warning from the table view by selecting a column and using the Actions button, not from inside the workbook
  • High visibility warnings pop up when you open a workbook and when you connect to the data source; standard visibility warnings show in blue and only appear under data details
  • The lineage feature maps assets from the highest level (database) down to the lowest level (owner)

Great to see column level metadata being used int he platform. Hoping some of the work here goes some way to maybe opening the door to column level security for Virtual connections.

Tableau release Notes: “Data quality warnings can now be applied at the column level. Data quality warnings allow you to mark columns that are deprecated or stale, and those that may be displaying incorrect values. When a data quality warning is configured, you can enable a high-visibility warning across downstream assets to inform users of potential issues with the underlying data.”
