    Automatically update Excel data source on shared folder

      Hi everybody,

      I'm struggling with some features I've never used in Tableau.

      I built a workbook that uses as datasource an Excel file on my machine, and I published them on Tableau Server. Everything works.

      Now, what I would like to have, is my customer to update my data source.

      I want my datasource (the excel file) on a shared folder on a server so that he can connect and overwrite that file, and Tableau to update the datasource my workbook is connected to.

       

      How can I get this?

       

      Thanks,

       

      Francesca
