An error occurred while attempting to save the workbook in Tableau


I am using Tableau desktop to create a workbook. When I am going to publish it to the tableau online server I am getting following error.

The tableau server you are publishing to does permit external database connections. Use the Data menu to create and extract for the following data sources.

Data Extract Required

"My data source name"

I have created a data source which get data from SQL on premises database. Can anyone give me a solution for this.


Solution

  • Out of the box. Tableau Online only allows direct connections to specific cloud data sources. If you want to refresh your extract to on-premises data sources, you'll want to leverage the Tableau Bridge client
