#tableau | Code editor and syntax highlighting in Tableau 23-1 #analytics

0:0023.1 Tableau have added a code editor in

0:02the table extensions interface. Let me go

0:05ahead and bring a

0:06table extension into this data model. You

0:08'll see that as soon as I drop it in, I get

0:10this really

0:11tiny little window. I'm recording tall here

0:13, that's why it's so small. But notice it's

0:16already

0:16better because here I can actually right

0:18click and you can see that this code editor

0:19now supports

0:20JavaScript, plain text, Python and R. So

0:23when I go ahead and copy some code into

0:26that little window,

0:27I'm not sure you're even going to be able

0:28to see it. The syntax formatting does work.

0:31Let me go

0:31ahead and collapse this to the left hand

0:33side. You can see it kind of works. It kind

0:35of doesn't

0:36really work on screen here. So what I'll do

0:38is I'll move this off screen, drag it out.

0:40So you

0:40can genuinely see here that the code

0:42highlighting is actually working. And it's

0:44brilliant. This is

0:45a quality of life improvement. Go ahead and

0:47check out the full video on YouTube to find

0:49out more.
