#### Tableau KPI Cloner Web App Demo
In my previous post, I discussed a specific pain point in daily BI development raised by Alex Mou: accurately replacing metrics in Tableau KPI templates without triggering a global "Replace References" that breaks other views. I also mentioned my plan to build a web application to lower the barrier to entry for solving this.
Today, that tool is live.
As shown in the video, I have developed the Tableau KPI Cloner. You simply upload your .twb file, specify the source worksheet, input the new target worksheet name, and define the metric to swap (e.g., changing "Sales" to "Quantity").
The tool parses the underlying code and generates a new file in seconds. It duplicates the complete KPI module and executes a precise local replacement of the variables, keeping all original formula structures intact without affecting the rest of your workbook.
This tool is now available on my newly launched website: \[datacooper.com].
On the site, you will also find:
* The Tableau KPI Cloner and other online utilities. * Documentation for cwtwb (my MCP server for generating Tableau workbooks via AI). * Documentation for cwprep (open-source Python SDK for programmatic Tableau Prep flows). * Blogs and guides focused on BI automation and "Workbook as Code".
Moving these tools from local Python scripts to a web interface makes them accessible to analysts who may not have a programming background.
Check out the demo video below to see the workflow, and visit the website to test it out. I look forward to your feedback.
