tableau-inspector (Python)
Local-first CLI that statically analyzes Tableau workbooks (.twb / .twbx) for common issues —
dev-only DB connections, hidden worksheets, unused calculations/parameters, duplicate calculations,
default filters, blank dashboard titles, missing captions, duplicate field aliases — before you
publish. Everything is parsed from the workbook's embedded XML; no network calls are made.
This is a Python port of the Node.js tableau-inspector CLI, with the same functionality and
zero runtime dependencies (stdlib only).
Install
pip install -e .
Quick start
# Lint a workbook for common publishing issues
tableau-inspector analyze workbook.twbx
# Trace what a field/calculation depends on and what depends on it
tableau-inspector lineage workbook.twbx --field "Customer Segment"
# Search calculated fields by name or formula text
tableau-inspector search workbook.twbx "profit"
# Diff two versions of a workbook
tableau-inspector compare old.twbx new.twbx
Every command also supports --json for machine-readable output, and analyze/compare support
--html for a shareable, self-contained HTML report.
Documentation
Run tableau-inspector --help or tableau-inspector <command> --help for the full option
reference and the complete list of rules analyze checks.
