Nice video. I now know how two add multiple connections which is very useful. however on attempting to create the dual axis map using the two connections one set of data appears but the second dataset does populate to the map because there is no relationship configured between the two connections.

Hi I’m very new to tableau. Is it possible to connect to an excel file with multiple sheets (about 15 sheets) and when creating an individual graph in tableau, only select the sheet with the data that’s relevant for that graph? Great video by the way :)

So when is it important to have different sources of data be related? I don't fundamentally understand when it is and isn't required?

I was looking for something like this, thank you. Could you please let me if we can publish all this together ?

Is there anyway to show data from two unrelated datasets on one map? For instance, I have a state map with data on it and I'd like to overlay California wildfire parameters on it. The two data sets don't share any data. I've tried using a background image but I can't get it to work. Thanks.

Hi Thanks for the video:) Saved me a lot of time. Would it be possible to connect multiple servers instead of excel files in tableau? Thanks again and keep up the good videos

So we have to import a second independent data source. I wish they would just explain that.
