We can't use Windows authentication, so I have a specified user/pass to pull data for reporting. I can use MS SQL Server Management Studio, scripted Excel spreadsheets, and most any off-the-shelf software on Windows, Mac, or iPad to login to the server, view and select data from tables, run stored procedures, and pull data from our company's database tables. Most any software except for Tableau, that is.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I have downloaded the trial version of Tableau Desktop for Mac, installed that and the Simba SQL driver, but still can't connect.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&#160;</p><p>I have tried both the DNS name and the IP address of the SQL server.&#160; Not sure what else to try as this environment seems to accommodate all of my other tools.</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:8bbf9f38-6f50-41b9-9b74-0a2a4c28784f] --> Mon, 15 Sep 2014 19:07:05 GMT tableaucommunity@tableau.com https://community.tableau.com/thread/148628 2014-09-15T19:07:05Z 4 years 9 months ago 2 0
