# Tableau

The Dataddo Tableau connector works across all Tableau products including Tableau Desktop, Tableau Server, Tableau Prep, and Tableau Catalog.

With this destination, Dataddo stores the flow's data and Tableau pulls it in for reporting.

## Authorize Connection to Tableau

Authorize the connection so Dataddo can expose the data to Tableau:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| A name for this authorizer in Dataddo | A label so you can recognize the connection later. |
| Dataddo token | Select the dataddo token to be used for this authorizer. This token will be used when querying Dataddo API. |

Dataddo validates the connection when you save it.

## Create a Tableau Destination

Go to Destinations, click Create Destination, and select Tableau. Give the destination a name, choose the authorizer, and click Save.

## Connect Tableau to Dataddo

Dataddo keeps the flow's data ready for Tableau to read. In Tableau, add a new data source that points to the Dataddo destination you created, using the credentials from the authorizer above. Tableau then loads the data and refreshes it on its own schedule.

## How to Create a Flow to Tableau

1. Go to Flows and click Create Flow.
2. Add one or more sources.
3. Add Tableau as the destination and pick the authorizer.
4. Set the schedule and click Save.
5. Open Tableau and connect to the data as described above.

## Troubleshooting

### Tableau shows no data

The flow has not run yet, or Tableau points at the wrong connection. Run the flow once, then confirm the connection details in Tableau match the authorizer.

### Cannot connect from Tableau

Reauthorize the connection in Dataddo and re-enter the credentials in Tableau.
