Tableau - How to replace data source for only one sheet

Tags:

tableau-api

I am pulling data for a couple brands into google sheets with zapier. I am pulling information from each sheet as a separate data source in tableau. The formatting across the sheets is uniform, only values are different.

My objective is to use a completed viz sheet as a template, so that I can duplicate the sheet, and replace the data source. However I am running into a problem.

Generally when replacing a data source with "replace data source" the changes occur on a project wide level, but I need the changes to occur on a sheet level.

Is there any way to hook a viz sheet into a different data source, assuming the data source has the same formatting as "template" file?

When I need to replace a data source of just one sheet, I copy and paste that sheet into a new workbook. Replace it there, and copy and paste it back to my original workbook.
