When making a live connection to Parallel Data Warehouse (PDW) using the native SQL Server connection, dragging an aggregated measure to a view caused an error like: "[Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0][SQL Server]Parse error at line: 3, column: 10: Incorrect syntax near '('."

When editing a group in Tableau Desktop, items in the Add to list were not listed alphabetically.

When adding a field to a group, the drop-down menu in which you select the group showed fewer items than in previous versions. If you had more than 10 groups, this increased the need to scroll to select the correct group.

When sharing Tableau workbooks in Microsoft Lync, interacting with the views sometimes did not work as expected.

With Microsoft SQL Server connections, Tableau Desktop displayed a "The SELECT permission was denied" error and failed to connect when SQL Server denied permission for the stored procedures.

When working with an extracted data source, if the structure of the file to append is different than that of the original file, selecting Append Data from File causes an “extract not found” error. If you are working with an extract of a single-table Excel file, and Excel file to append has only one sheet, using Append Data from File completes successfully.

In either case, when the file structure has changed, the correct action is to use the Append from Data Source command. For more information, see Adding Data to Extracts in the Tableau Desktop Help. http://onlinehelp.tableausoftware.com/current/pro/online/windows/en-us/…
