I'm searching if I can use tool like tableau or power bi to create dashboards fast and display it to the clients in my system
The data cannot be shared publicly
I searched and found the Power BI and Tableau embedded
Didn't use it, and want to know more cause I'm comparing between creating the dashboards manually or using this solution
But need to know if someone used it before, what's the limitations, value, and the pricing,
Thanks in advance
Besides TabPython, is there some programming language or tool outside of Tableau Desktop/Prep that can be used to do this ?
You can use Tableau Prep to connect to the published data source and ingest the data in excel/csv or database table
I wonder anyone has succeeded in refreshed publishing workbook from local on-premises database/files on Mac? I am using Tableau Online and I made Tabcmd working on mac. But seems I need Tableau Data Extract Command-line Utility to do the job.
I do not want to use VMs or Windows machines as it may cause trouble for my database management, which I built with OS X. I also tried Wine/Crossover to run Tableau.exe on Mac, which did not work.
Any better suggestions? Please kindly help. Thanks!
It's not clear exactly what you are trying to do.
If you want to create a Tableau data extract programmatically, you can write a script or program that calls the Tableau Data Extract API.
If you want to upload something to Tableau server, you can write a script or program that calls the Tableau REST API
I have big Google Spreadseet (about 50 colums and about 50 sheets). Can I export data from tables to SQL database? May be there are script opportunities or anothers...
Thanks in advance, Dmitry.
I think the best way to do this would be to use Google Apps Script.
The SpreadsheetService will easily open and read the spreadsheet, then you can use the JDBC service to connect to Cloud SQL.
I have a requirement to read and import data from MS Money data file. How can I achieve this? Is there a SDK available?
I would like to have a similar mechanism to read Quicken files too.
With Microsoft discontinuing the MS Money product, I was researching the same issue to try to do a full data export of MS Money data file transaction information. The best I have been able to come across was a forum posting detailing manipulating the file to be readable via MS Access. Unfortunately, his method required purchasing a piece of software to "repair" the file to make it openable. The thread is here: http://www.archivum.info/microsoft.public.money/2007-09/msg00739.html and the text is below.
Well for $300 bucks + some custom SQL programming I finally found a way
to get out of Money jail. Here is how
Get FileBinReplace utility here http://www.softtreetech.com/24x7/script.htm
Run it as FileBinReplace *.mny "MSISAM Database" "Standard Jet DB"
Rename *.mny to *.mdb
Use AccessFIX tool ($300; search the web for a download link) to repair
the MDB file.
Query TRN and TRN_INVOICE tables as
needed.
By the way, when I saw the internal
database design in Money, I was
literally shocked. That database was
surely designed by entry-level
database programmers… students maybe…
who had little idea about relational
database design, normalization or
efficiency... Just for the record,
invoice text strings (addresses,
customer notes, lines item
descriptions, etc.. are stored tin
the same table where on-line
transactions are stored, invoice
headers and details are stored in the
same table!!! you get the idea about
who and how designed it)
I would hope since MS is no longer going to support the product or data file format that they would release the data file spec so that tools could be created to properly export existing data.
Here is also a SourceForge project for exporting MsMoney data in other formats: http://sunriise.sourceforge.net/
There is a "Class to transform an OFX (Microsoft Money) file into a DataSet" on CodeProject.
OFX has nothing to do with MS Money data file (mny).
OFX is an open standard based on sgml or xml depending on OFX version, MNY is a proprietary binary format.
MS Money can import OFX files but that's all.
If the requirement is to import only once then export from Money to csv or qif and process the exported files. Same applies to Quicken.
Money Sunset is free.
This tool is free and will perform a more comprehensive export of Microsoft Money data. I don't think it can be used programatically though. http://www.ultrasoft.com/MoneyLink/overview.shtml
