Tableau Image Downloader + Filter

[#1]

This tool connects to Tableau Server API and allows you to filter the dashboard and download an image of the view.

You should provide a Tableau Server user for using the macro. Macro created & tested for Tableau Server API (version 2.5).

How to use the macro:

1. Enter your Tableau user&pass details.
2. Fill text boxes with the required details to connect your Tableau Server and get access to the desired view.
3. Run and get the image!

The macros will also pass the image as blob.

Kindly note that the maximum number of workbooks/views the API call can pull is 1,000. If you need to pull +1,000 you will have to add the page number in the API calls according to Paging Results-Tableau Server REST API - Tableau.

UPDATE July 2023: The macro has been updated to include PAT auth option for Tableau Online & maxAge parameter. The Tableau API works in a way that if you make multiple requests for an image, subsequent calls return a cached version of the file. To decrease the amount of time that a workbook is cached, you can use the maxAge parameter (minimum of 1 minute).

I have a question and I would like to understand why the image appears blurry. Could you please explain the possible reasons behind this phenomenon in a more detailed?

This works great! However, we have a filter on a dashboard that contains special characters i.e. & between two words but it doesn't pull the data back. Any guidance would be appreciative.
