Table Extensions code editor | New in Tableau 2023.1

0:00Hey it's Tim here. In 23.1 the table

0:02extensions code editor now contains

0:06essentially proper code

0:07formatting and syntax. What I have open

0:10here is 22.4 and you can just see here that

0:13as soon as

0:14I paste some code, essentially Tableau

0:17doesn't apply the syntax. This code is

0:19actually getting

0:21weather information dynamically through an

0:23API. I haven't filled out any of my API

0:25information,

0:26but it's just an example piece of Python

0:28that's being used to showcase the table

0:30extension

0:31capability as a data model link to super

0:33store cells. So let's go ahead and sort of

0:36switch out

0:37of this and go to 23.1 where as soon as you

0:40go here, there's a subtle hint because you

0:42've got

0:43a line number in here that this is actually

0:45going to work better. When I right click in

0:47this little

0:47space, and let me move my face out of the

0:49way, when I right click in this space you

0:51'll see I get

0:51a little bit more capability. You couldn't

0:54right click before, you can now choose

0:56whether this is

0:57observing JavaScript, plain text, Python or

1:00R. In this case it should be Python and

1:02when I go ahead

1:03and paste this you'll see that it actually

1:05supports the proper syntax highlighting for

1:08this,

1:08which essentially is a quality of life

1:10improvement for anyone who works with table

1:11extensions because

1:12what it means is you can actually do some

1:14work here. You've even got a little mini

1:16map here on

1:17the right hand side for really long bits of

1:19code so you can very quickly go to certain

1:21bits of the

1:22code that you're working on and get a

1:23context of sort of what's working. So this

1:25is a really,

1:26really nice set of features. You've also

1:28got access to a command palette so you can

1:30do a few things in

1:32this little tiny window that I think makes

1:34troubleshooting or fixing bugs in this

1:36specific

1:37interface much, much easier and easier to

1:40follow along. Quick one, 75% of people

1:44watching the video

1:44right now at least in the last 90 days aren

1:47't subscribed. Over the last year it's 80%

1:50even

1:50bigger. So I'd really appreciate your help

1:52hitting that sub button so we can push

1:54forward.

1:55Unfortunately the subscriber count is the

1:57measure that some organizations look at and

2:00those

2:00organizations are going to help bring this

2:02content to another level so I really want

2:04your help to

2:04help push this channel to the next level.

2:06Let's carry on. That's pretty much the

2:08feature. I don't

2:09know enough about table extensions to dive

2:11into more detail about this so I'm really

2:13at the edge

2:13of my understanding here but hopefully this

2:16might be just a useful piece of insight for

2:19you

2:20so that you know that this feature is

2:21available and you can upgrade to 23.1.

2:23Thanks for watching and I'll catch you in

2:25the next video.

2:26you

2:26you
