It’s Quick Tip time for Tableau Desktop!
After working with Tableau’s clustering capabilities for a while, I came across a situation where all my saved clusters disappeared after refreshing extracts.
Well… the saved cluster didn’t disappear, it just all turned the same color and didn’t cluster.
Unfortunately I haven’t remembered every page of Tableau documentation yet so I got tripped up. But the fix was simple, and here it is.
Quick Tip: Right-click your saved cluster and select Refit.
This is truly a quick tip, but might relieve some panic when your data refreshes and all your beautiful clusters get washed out.
A Final Note
If you haven’t jumped into Tableau clustering before, there are some really good blogs and documentation around it. Here are a few links:
- https://help.tableau.com/current/pro/desktop/en-us/clustering.htm
- https://datacrunchcorp.com/tableau-clustering/
