Asterisks Display in Tooltips - Tableau Desktop




http://kb.tableau.com/articles/Issue/asterisks-display-in-tooltip?userSource=1

https://community.tableau.com/thread/153244?start=30&tstart=0

Problem:  I was able to display the multiples time in a single row, but as tooltip it is duplicating the values
Feeder (Table across)  used:

IF first()==0 THEN
    STR(min([Start Timestamp]))
ELSE
    PREVIOUS_VALUE("") + ", " + STR(min([Start Timestamp]))
END

Date tooltip (Table across) used:

IF FIRST()==0 THEN
    LOOKUP([Feeder],LAST())
END

 Listed below are articles for reference on Addressing and Partitioning, the Table Calculation Functions used in the solution, and information on Dashboard Action Filters:

Connecting Active Directory as Tableau data source

The ability to connect with Active Directory as a data source is not currently built into Tableau desktop.
 
 The best practice to get around this issue is to mirror the unsupported data source onto a support data source, so you can place the data you want to analyze in a form that Tableau Desktop can properly connect with. The article below goes into more detail on this issue and using an ODBC connection:
