Hiding Underlying Data

Publish Date: Apr 25, 2025
Task
How to hide the underlying data when sharing a workbook.
Steps
Use one of the following workarounds:
  • Publish the workbook to Tableau Server, and deny permission to view underlying data to relevant users. For more information, see Publish a Workbook in Tableau Help.
  • Hide unused fields, and then create an extract. Hidden fields are automatically excluded from the extract. For more information, see Hide or Unhide Fields and Extracting Data in Tableau Help.
  • Use an aggregated extract. Aggregating data prevents users from seeing row-level data for aggregated fields. For more information, see Create an extract.
