If you’re like most people, you probably find the process of data preparation to be a bit tedious and time-consuming. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a way to automate the entire process?
Well, good news! There is a way to automate the entire process of data preparation using Tableau Prep. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to do it.
First, you’ll need to create a connection to your data source. Tableau Prep provides a variety of connectors that you can use, including those for popular databases such as MySQL, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.
Once you’ve created a connection, you can begin building your flow. Tableau Prep makes it easy to add, remove, and rearrange steps in your flow. You can also use the built-in transformations to clean and prepare your data.
Once your flow is complete, you can then schedule it to run automatically on a regular basis. This is a great way to ensure that your data is always up-to-date and ready for analysis.
So there you have it! Now you know how to automate the process of data preparation using Tableau Prep. Give it a try and see how much time you can save.
