==== Data loading
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, you'll need to choose ODBC as the source to load data from. Once launched, click on the _More..._ menu item and in the expanded
|
|
|
|
|
list of connectors, choose _Other Databases (ODBC)_:
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
[[apps_tableau_fromodbc]]
|
|
|
|
|
.ODBC as data source

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the new connection window that appears, select the previously configured DSN that will connect to the desired {es} instance. Press the
|
|
|
|
|
_Connect_ button. In case credentials are needed, a new windows - driver's DSN editor - will be launched and you'll need to provide the
|
|
|
|
|
_Username_ and _Password_ in the respective fields. (Note that these will not be stored as part of the DSN, but only remembered for the
|
|
|
|
|
duration of the session).
|
|
|
|
|
If the connection is successful, the _Connection Attributes_ section of the connection window is populated with the respective details;
|
|
|
|
|
press the _Sign In_ button next:
|
|
|
|
|

|
[[apps_tableau_connd]]
|
|
|
|
|
.Authenticate and sign in

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Tableau Desktop's main window then choose the name of {es} instance as the _Database_, select one table that you'd like to load from
|
|
|
|
|
the list (click on the magnifying glass icon to have them all shown), drag the table over the work area, then click the _Update Now_
|
|
|
|
|
button to load a preview of the table:
