Use Tableau Server As A Data Source?

[dzhu002]

Is it possible to use Tableau server as a data source? My previous Alteryx workflow has already created a table in Tableau server. I would be great if I could use that table directly for other workflows.

Hi @dzhu002

That would be great but unfortunately it's not possible

Have you thought of adding a branch to your workflow and saving a YXDB file with the same data?  That way your data is available for later use and it will load FAST..

That's good to know. Thanks!

That should be a work around. Thanks!

I have similar task. Some other person has generated Tableau data source and I want to use it in my Alteryx flow as input. Theoretically it should be possible to convert Tableau data source into csv file and use it for Alteryx input. For some reason I'm getting an error though. I don't know why?

Have you tried that?
