[Tableau Desktop Download For Mac

That feature is only available to Tableau Server. You can output TDE files from Alteryx, but there is no way that Alteryx can push directly into the desktop. The Tableau Server tools uses Tableau's API which the API doesn't have access to the desktop.
I'm new to the tool and was disappointed to see this post as I have Tableau desktop and not server. I was really hoping I could export out my analysis this way. I don't know the reasons it can't be done, could it be added to a future version?
Alteryx will output .tde or .hyper files that can be used in tableau desktop, that is not an issue.
If you have a Tableau workbook using an extract as a datasource, that extract can be overwritten (or appended, whatever you choose in the output options) using Alteryx.
Hi @dsmdavid Thanks for your reply. Currently the output file from Alteryx is an xls and my Tableau file is a live connection. So not sure if the xls from Alteryx designer can directly go into Tableau desktop?
I use a Mac and use Tableau Desktop to build workbooks that connect to Smartsheet data. Currently, I use Data Shuttle to offload the data to a Google Sheet. Then I connect Tableau Desktop to the Google Sheet. If there were a Mac ODBC driver for Tableau Desktop, I could connect to my smartsheet data sources directly from Tableau Desktop improving development workflow and reducing potential problems in the integration chain.
The ODBC interface is built by Microsoft and so Smartsheet is not able to influence its ability to work with Mac devices. I would recommend providing your enhancement request to Microsoft on the ODBC documentation, here.
That said, Smartsheet has a Web Data Connector that you can leverage when connecting with Tableau. In Tableau, go through Connect > Web Data Connector. Then on the Web Data Connector window, select Use a Connector to find Smartsheet. If you cannot find it from this list, I believe the URL to input on the Web Data Connector page is :443/tableau/
Would you mind double-checking that the ODBC driver was built by Microsoft? They built the SDK, but companies, and I'd bet a donut, including Smartsheet have developed their own version of the ODBC driver using the SDK. The Smartsheet-specific ODBC driver is discussed on your site (here, here, and here), and the specifics further strongly suggests that Smartsheet developed it. If I'm right, then Smartsheet would be the party responsible for developing the Mac version of the Smartsheet-specific ODBC driver. If I'm wrong, you get a donut. :)
Regarding the WDC. I'm pleasantly aware of it and its functionality. I'm aiming high, for the ODBC connection so that I can have a live data connection with fewer headaches then the WDC gives me. Those issues with the WDC are a problem with my internal org, and not Smartsheet.
When adding a widget to the dashboard, if I want the Widget Behavior to open a Dynamic View, I have to go find the URL and use the "Open another site" option and drop in the URL. A better option would be to be able to use the "Open a Smartsheet item" option and be taken to the list of DVs to choose from. Thanks!
Tableau Desktop: A desktop software use to create data visualizations and combine data sets to produce reports, graphs, maps, animated visualizations and more. Learn more about how to access in the Getting Started section.
Some Tableau reports are available to all Tufts faculty and staff at tableau.uit.tufts.edu. To obtain access to specific data sets, submit a request to the Data Warehouse team at bi-se...@tufts.edu.
Tufts students and faculty can install Tableau on their personal computers for free. Tableau Desktop can be used in coursework, projects, and research to integrate data skills into your teaching and learning at Tufts.
Install Tableau Desktop locally: Visit the Tableau Academic site and register using your Tufts email address. This will provide a one-year license from the date you register (for academic use only).
After review, the changes pushed by DUO on Wednesday 10/19/22 introduced an incompatibility with Tableau Desktop SSO when authenticating with Tableau Server (web browser SSO remains fine). An upgrade to Tableau Server and associated desktop clients resolves this incompatibility.
We will immediately (after hours on 10/21/22) switch Tableau Desktop SSO back to non-SSO authentication (leaving web browser SSO in place). We are also scheduling the necessary Tableau upgrade (which also resolves other just-announced security patching), and then will be re-enabling Tableau Desktop SSO at that time. See the upgrade downtime maintenance info below.
Tableau service (all published visualizations on iq-analytics, those embedded to a department webpage, and public visualizations) will be UNAVAILABLE during the downtime maintenance window. Feel free to let your specific dashboard consumers know about the downtime maintenance as needed.
