Swap data source for a sheet in Tableau | New in Tableau 2022.4

In 22.4 you can finally swap a data source for just one sheet instead of the whole workbook.

Part ofWhat's new in Tableau 2022.4
  • In Tableau 2022.4 you can right-click a data source, choose Replace Data Source, and tick 'Replace current worksheet only' to swap data for just one sheet
  • A tick mark next to a data source shows which one the active sheet is using
  • Swapping data sources can break existing filters, so you may need to remove fields that no longer exist in the new source
  • This is handy for troubleshooting, testing a second version of the data, or comparing two sheets side by side without affecting the rest of the workbook

In Tableau 22.4, you can now swap a data source for a single sheet making it easier to test out new data sources, try out alternative calculations or even use both data sources to achieve complex analytical calculations.

Tableau Release Notes: Selectively replace data sources on a worksheet level without complicated workarounds. Previously, replacing data sources would apply to all worksheets in the workbook using the datasource. Now, you have greater control and can select to apply data source changes to only the current worksheet.
