It's almost fully functional barely a few features that are disabled.

Earlier in 2024, Tableau Public was allowed to save Tableau worksheets locally which was a most awaited feature for about a decade or even more. This prevents the need to use Tableau Public account but you should still use it to showcase your portfolio to the audience.

Mysql Workbench doesn't import all rows from CSV to table

I was trying to import the contents from CSV file to a MySQL table while using MySQL workbench. Interestingly, it just won't import all the rows which were in the CSV file.

Things I tried -

1. Try keeping only 3 columns and then try importing -- all rows successfully got imported

2. Removed few columns which were having dashes as values and not null. Removing those and then trying importing the csv again led to import of lesser no. of rows.

3. Searching for any problematic values in the columns which could be making MySQL to skip the rows.
