Summary
When attempting to use filters in a workbook published to Tableau Cloud and connected to a multi-fact table (also referred to as shared dimensions) data source, an error is thrown.
This issue can also be observed from Tableau Desktop, if a workbook is connected to a published extract of the multi-fact table data source. A local extract will not encounter the issue.
Error Details
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a workbook connecting to a multi-fact table data source.
- Create filters to select each fact table.
- Publish the data source to Tableau Cloud. Ensure that the workbook is switched to using the published data source.
- In the browser, navigate to the published workbook and attempt to change and apply the filter to select all multi-fact tables at once.
- An infinite reconnect to data source message will appear (if selecting 'Yes'), choosing 'No' will showcase the error.
Workaround
The filter can be applied without issue if a local extract of the data source is used.
