Summary

The abbreviation of the quarter with 'Q' on the axis is truncated to a number only after publishing to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server.


For example, the X-axis of the workbook is displayed as Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 in Tableau Desktop. However, after publishing the dashboard to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server, it is displayed as 1, 2, 3, 4.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a Workbook using Sample Data Source - Superstore on Tableau Desktop
  2. From the Dimensions area in the Data pane, drag the Order Date field to the Columns shelf
  3. From the Data pane, drag the Sales field to the Rows shelf.
  4. Ensure the Order Date field on shelf meets the following conditions:
    1. The date field is Continuous
    2. When the date selection is Date parts, Abbreviation is selected for the axis format
    3. When the date selection is Date truncations, Automatic is selected for the axis format, and the graph shows only data for a single year and does not include years on the axis
  5. Publish the view to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server

Note: Regarding the date selection, see also Continuous Dates.

Workaround

Workaround 1:

Change the affected field to discrete.


Workaround 2:

The issue only occurs when client-side rendering so switching to server-side rendering can work around the issue.

To perform server-side rendering, add ?:render=false at the end of the view's URL. For example:

http://localhost/views/Supplies/MyView?:render=false
