The nagging feeling remained, why did my modified <em>copy<\/em> of the spreadsheet work, but if I&#8217;ve fixed the original sheet (deleted the pivot table) still throw the error when I tried to reconnect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve downloaded both sheets (as <code>xlsx<\/code>) and tried to compare, but couldn&#8217;t really see any material differences&#8230; Is it in the history? Is it something more subtle that is hidden in the structure of the doc, or how Google exposes the spreadsheets over the network connection versus the downloaded files?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For simplicity, I tried things out with intentionally triggering this error with a simple sheet, then fixing it, and trying to re-add. The error was again showing even through the sheet no longer had any pivot table&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breakthrough came when I shut down Tableau, started up again, loaded the fixed sheet &#8212; and then it worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seems like Tableau caches something between the attempts of connecting to the sheet (either the whole content, which I would doubt, or just the connection results?), so when we hit an error loading the spreadsheet, that error on the same error persisted while the Tableau sesson was running. And not knowing about that caching, and because our original dashboard took a couple of minutes to click through various data connector access requests when started up, I obviously wasn&#8217;t starting fresh whenever we made a chage to the breaking sheet. So we were just banging our head on the wall, while changing stuff to see if things worked, but Tableau&#8217;s caching hid it from us that we&#8217;ve fixed stuff&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was an hour or two well spent! The lesson will definitely remain: if you hit an error loading a connector, just restart Tableau before trying again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the developer experience corollary: for goodness sake make Dashboards that do not take 3-5 minutes to reconnect to all the sources whenever starting up<sup data-fn=\"f4c12485-f5b6-4044-95f9-315e9164cc80\" class=\"fn\"><a href=\"#f4c12485-f5b6-4044-95f9-315e9164cc80\" id=\"f4c12485-f5b6-4044-95f9-315e9164cc80-link\">2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-footnotes\"><li id=\"f878ffad-0f33-400f-9b06-1c542b0568f2\">I guess that applies to Microsoft Office Spreadsheets too as Tableau uses the similar code internally, but I haven&#8217;t tested that. <a href=\"#f878ffad-0f33-400f-9b06-1c542b0568f2-link\" aria-label=\"Jump to footnote reference 1\">\u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li><li id=\"f4c12485-f5b6-4044-95f9-315e9164cc80\">Easier said than done, I&#8217;m aware. <a href=\"#f4c12485-f5b6-4044-95f9-315e9164cc80-link\" aria-label=\"Jump to footnote reference 2\">\u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li><\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fixing an error where one has to both find the issue, and find that Tableau was getting in the way of seeing when the issue was actually fixed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"[{\"content\":\"I guess that applies to Microsoft Office Spreadsheets too as Tableau uses the similar code internally, but I haven't tested that.\",\"id\":\"f878ffad-0f33-400f-9b06-1c542b0568f2\"},{\"content\":\"Easier said than done, I'm aware.\",\"id\":\"f4c12485-f5b6-4044-95f9-315e9164cc80\"}]"},"categories":[7],"tags":[261,260],"class_list":["post-3014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-comp","tag-google-sheets","tag-tableau"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
