Limitations

No results for Full Data

Choosing View Data > Full Data shows no results or an error. This feature is not supported. (ATSCALE-T243)

Drill down on hierarchies in Tableau Cloud

Drill down on hierarchies created in AtScale works in Tableau Cloud. Consider that there is no option to remove attributes from a hierarchy defined in AtScale. However, it is possible to create a new hierarchy from other attributes (secondary), and then to remove them from the newly created hierarchy. (ATSCALE-T246)

Concatenation with Parameter Actions

Using concatenation with Parameter Actions does not work. (ATSCALE-T525)
