> This is content from just-tim, the data-and-analytics channel by Tim Ngwena (formerly 'Tableau Tim'). Tim has 12+ years of hands-on BI experience and covers Tableau most of all, plus Power BI, Looker, Hex, SQL and data modelling, the analytics industry, and the craft of doing the job — always tool-agnostic and honest about the trade-offs.

I show a quick way to embed Tableau Public content into a Notion page. The direct embed link works but tends to load the fiddly mobile design, so I demonstrate a better approach using CodePen to get the full interactive desktop version sitting neatly inside Notion.

## Key takeaways

- Pasting a Tableau Public share link into a Notion embed block works but usually loads the cumbersome mobile design rather than the desktop layout.
- A cleaner method is to copy Tableau Public's embed code into the HTML section of a new CodePen pen, which renders the full interactive desktop version.
- Save the CodePen to get a unique pen URL, then paste that into a Notion embed block to load the visualisation neatly inside the page.
- Avoid the CodePen approach for anything requiring authentication, as it introduces security challenges in a company setting.
