Great content :) are you able to do a tutorial or video on Forecasting with live data that has a scheduled update (e.g. weekly refresh)? It's been really hard finding one that does that, and most of the time forecasting requires creating dummy values next to the date/year - but when new data comes in each time, it's annoying & impractical to create and join a dummy date dataset

[@rltewari]

it helped me a lot

[@pradeepp9126]

Thanks for the info Bella great content, One Question though in case when we want to display a Stock Market Data Trend which needs to refresh every x seconds can we do that configuration ??? either in server or desktop

Quick question, what could be the causes of different appearance for a Tableau dashboard when published to Tableau Online? For example, when I hover a cursor over a text list in desktop version, the cursor point would change to a pointing finger with the text being underlined, but this does not happen in Online version. I have been trying very hard to troubleshoot this issue. 😭

[@dgoo1895]

Please make a video on tableau server on the sites roles topic

[@sqlbelle]

Thank you for the suggestion!

[@peterparker4358]

Nice vidoe mam as always.
Just one question in live connection the refresh will happen automatic when it's published over server?

[@cesargonzalez4935]

Many many many thanks! Very helpful n.n

[@sqlbelle]

Thank you Cesar!

Could you do a video about dynamic containers resizing in tableau dashboards, to disappear the scroll lines when the detsils tsble is too long, this id a headache to me, the idea is that resizing eliminate the blank space when switchingto a less detsiled table.
