Multiple Tableau Server Connection

Chong Man Yee Jul 25, 2017 2:59 AM

Hi,

Is that possible to have multiple Tableau Server Connection for a workbook.

For example: there are 2 Tableau Server with different data content and would like to combine the 2 instances into a workbook and publish to one of the Tableau Server.

Can you please advise the best practice/solution for the above requirement?

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Regards,

Man Yee

You can connect to multiple data sources, but you can't simultaneously connect to multiple Tableau Server instances

The best would be to download the two data sets and consolidate them into one workbook that you can then upload to a Tableau Server.

Download the data source and consolidate into the workbook will very manual and not able to schedule and refresh automatically.

The data source will updated weekly and hoping the workbook will be display the latest information and refresh automatically.

Looking forward your reply.

Cheers,
Man Yee
