Tableau Extension API – Write Back
Kommentare : 15
LATEST VERSION OF THIS WRITE BACK EXTENSION => CLICK HERE
The video below is demonstrating how you could leverage Tableau’s Extension API to save a tremendous amount of time in your planning and forecasting processes. This is done by coding a Tableau Extension which is actually writing back data into your transactional database (e.g. CRM system) directly from within a Tableau Dashboard!
I’m looking forward to get your feedback on it!
Cheers,
TT

Hey Ula,
This extension is using a local MySQL database to write back data into it. Please make sure you’re using the latest version of the Extension from this blog post:

Great stuff! Can you use this extension to write back to Hyperion?
Thanks,
Hey Mitchell,
if Hyperion offers you with the ability to programmatically write data into cells – yes, absolutely!
You’d then adjust the “php/writeToDb.php” file to write data into your backend of choice .
Alternatively you could also adjust “MarksSelection.js” to not handover data to a PHP file via $.post(‘php/writeToDb.php’,{…}) at all. Instead you could use your programming language of choice.
Cheers,
Timo

Hi Timo,
how can we write back to a google sheet?
Hi Erick,
for this you can leverage this Extension from our Gallery: Write-Back Free by Xpand IT. They’ve got a Github page which describes how you can set it up according to your needs: https://github.com/xpandit/tableau_write-back_extension
A flexible way to write-back data from Tableau dashboards into databases is our Form Builder extension framework. Please see https://extensiongallery.tableau.com/extensions/48 or https://m2dot.com/en/solutions/m2-solutions/form-builder for details.
