Alteryx on Tableau server

Hi Team,

I am new to Alteryx and I have got a requirement from the client.

They want to use Alteryx for data preparation and directly want to connect Alteryx to tableau server so that Data extract can be use for data visualization.

Please help me how I can connect.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @shaziaa,

Did you try the 'Publish to tableau Server tool'?

Go to gallery.alteryx.com and download the Publish to Tableau Server tools. That will give you a macro to publish data from an Alteryx workflow to Tableau server.

You have two options available to you:

1) the Publish to tableau server tool available in the alteryx gallery

2) using the tableau server REST API to publish your data. Code samples can be found here

Hi All

I have a workflow that picks up data from sharePoint online and publishes the data onto a tableau server using the "Publish To Tableau Server" macro using the "overwrite" option. However, all the calculations in the data changes to a dimension or a measure field. This makes the calculation un-editable and messes up the tableau visualization.

Please is there a way to fix this problem?

Thank you
