Append data to Tableau server

I have used Publish to Tableau Server macro for over a years.  It works fine when I want to overwrite the data. 

However, the current macros (from Alteryx Gallery and Invisio) won't work with appending the data. Please modify or develop a workable macro for 'Append the data to Tableau Server'. It will save a lot of time in the daily update process.  


Note: I am using Alteryx 11 and Tableau 10.1. Thank you very much.

Update to the newest version of the Publish to Tableau Server and it has the Append option. They just added it recently! https://gallery.alteryx.com/#!app/Publish-to-Tableau-Server--Installer-/58f7e758a18e9e18fcad65a7 . *Be careful uploading large .tdes I have ran into an an error where they are producing 1 MB files. You can overcome this by reverting back to an older version of Alteryx just for these workflows while the engineering team works on a solution.

Thank you very much. I will try to download this version. I don't think I can revert back to the older version. Unless I have to recreate everything in the older version, correct?
