Question: I have multiple tables on a single Excel sheet. Can Tableau point to a specific range of cells in Excel, or do I need to make new sheets? The Challenge In an ideal situation, you will always want to structure your data so that it is...
Running multiple flows every day from your computer and opening them one by one is a method that’s far from perfect. The reason why we put work into implementing more robust solutions than copy-paste between Excel workbooks was to cut the time on manual, repetitive...

Question: I want to only connect to certain rows in my Excel file, but I’m not seeing how to do that from Tableau. Is there a way to do this? Tableau connects to Excel as if it were a database. By default, it will connect and...
Kicking off a new year of Snowflake blogs seemed like a great opportunity to give you the tips and tricks of connecting to Snowflake from Excel. Businesses have been using databases to get data for Excel workbooks forever, but looking through the depths of Google,...
Do you ever have those watercooler debates at work that never get a real sense of finality? A coworker claims the trade OKC made for Carmelo Anthony was worth it, and you know in your heart that they are completely wrong, but you keep it...

Four years ago, I wrote a blog post speculating about future business intelligence workflow and tools for business information systems that would provide the capabilities of high-priced legacy enterprise business information systems but at a fraction of the cost. Part of that post included a...
If you’ve used Portals for Tableau’s Data Manager feature, it’s likely you have utilized the Tableau-friendly table in your dashboards. However, there are times when you need to get at the raw data but don’t have or don’t really need direct access to the database....
