Does Tableau Support Google Datastore Connection?

Ifen Shih Jul 11, 2016 8:02 AM

Hi, Team: 

I am evaluating the online report system and I am using Google Datastore (NoSQL) as my major database.

It seems Tableau supports Google BigQuery.

I am not sure if Tableau can connect to Google Datastore or not?

Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, at this point Google Datastore is not supported by Tableau.

Hi Ifen,

Here are some workarounds:

1. Use the Web data connector SDK and create your own Google Cloud Datastore connector

2. Export data from Google Datastore and Import the data into Google BigQuery. Tableau Desktop has a native connector for Google BigQuery

Hi Ajay,

I haven't tested either of the workarounds that I mentioned above personally.

The following article has some step by steps guidelines on how to export data from Google Datastore.
