I show how Tableau 2022.4 lets you replace a data source for a single sheet rather than the whole workbook. Using a worksheet with a data export error, I swap in a corrected version for just that sheet while leaving the first sheet untouched.

## Key takeaways

- In Tableau 2022.4 you can right-click a data source, choose Replace Data Source, and tick 'Replace current worksheet only' to swap data for just one sheet
- A tick mark next to a data source shows which one the active sheet is using
- Swapping data sources can break existing filters, so you may need to remove fields that no longer exist in the new source
- This is handy for troubleshooting, testing a second version of the data, or comparing two sheets side by side without affecting the rest of the workbook
