Read Tableau Extract Files

[jeremy_dalletezze]

Right now we can create Tableau extract files (.tde), but cannot read them into Alteryx -- this limits the partnership of these two companies.
Please add the functionality to import .tde files,
Best,

We're thrilled to announce that, through the integration of Tableau's new Hyper API with the Input Data tool, you can now read Tableau Hyper Data Extract (.hyper) files as an input data source from within Alteryx Designer! We've been tracking this request for a long time and were quick to act once Tableau enabled this functionality.

The ability to read Hyper files is currently in beta and can be accessed from Alteryx Beta Program > Alteryx Analytics Beta 2019.4 > Designer | Tableau Hyper API Integration.

Thank you to @jeremy_dalletezze and everyone who has commented or liked this idea! We appreciate your participation and enthusiasm for Alteryx.

I'm updating this idea to Coming Soon, as this functionality will be available in an upcoming release and is available in our current beta!

Great news ! Thanks.

Great news StephenW, thank you!

A couple of questions though:

 - Can we expect the ability to read from hyper extracts stored on Tableau server as well as those stored locally?

-  Is there a provision to support Update and Delete records from a hyper extract? I understand that Tableau has opened hyper to full CRUD from systems other than Tableau, so technically it should be possible.

Hi @AlexBibin,

• Can we expect the ability to read from hyper extracts stored on Tableau server as well as those stored locally?

Extracts would need to be manually downloaded from Tableau Server and stored locally. This is a great idea though and we'll keep it in mind as we evolve this capability.

• Is there a provision to support Update and Delete records from a hyper extract? I understand that Tableau has opened hyper to full CRUD from systems other than Tableau, so technically it should be possible.

The Hyper output support includes: Create New Extract File, Overwrite Existing Extract File (Create if does not Exist), and Append to an Extract File.

The ability to read Hyper files is now available in the 2019.4 release. Learn more by reading See What all the Hype's About in 2019.4.
