Описание

When publishing a workbook, the following error messages appear.
 

Unable to complete action
There was a problem connecting to the data source “Clipboard_xxxx”.
Error Code: 88A6ADA0
File: /User/<username>/Documents/My Tableau Repository/Datasource \Clipboard_xxxx.txt not found. Please edit the connection
Or 
An error occurred while communicating with the data source
Bad Connection: Tableau could not connect to the data source.
Error Code: 3C3E8425
An error occurred when publishing the workbook.
A data source for this worksheet cannot be accessed.

 

Cause

A new connection with the clipboard data may have been added unintentionally.
Решение

Tableau Desktop has a feature to copy and paste the data directly into your workbook. If the "Clipboard_xxxx" data source is unintentionally added by pressing Ctrl+V (or Command+V on Mac) on Tableau Desktop, please select Menu>Data>"Clipboard_xxxx">Close to delete the "Clipboard_xxxx" data source.

Note: If you don't see "Clipboard_xxxx" under Data menu, the error and the issue is not related to the content of this article. xxxx is an arbitrary number/text strings e.g. "Clipboard_20250216T135345" which could be a data source created and pasted in Tableau Desktop when you accidently pressed Ctrl + C and Ctrl +V. It is a name of the data copy/pasted data source that appear under Data menu, and not part of the standard function or menu item otherwise.
