Hi,
I understand that you can create a Tableau data extract using the output data node but would there be a way to directly publish the data onto a Tableau server (i.e. using the Tableau Server as a database)?
Any help is appreciated - thanks
Alteryx has released a new macro to publish to Tableau Server if you run Alteryx 10.1 and higher:

I covered the topic of uploading workflows from Alteryx to Tableau here:

I hope that helps,
Frederic
Check out the Alteryx Tools for Tableau from the Information Lab.

Thanks - I actually tried downloading it already but I couldn't run it without administrative access on my work laptop so I was hoping there was a more official Alteryx kit for it?
Hi HM,
That tool was created for Tableau v8 and Alteryx v9. I know that Alteryx is in the process of creating an offical tool for this but I don't know when release is (I thought it was meant to be at TC15 in October)
Cheers
The kit that was distributed at TC'15 can be found here: http://www.alteryx.com/kit
Enjoy!
