If you've ever worked with Workday data, you know it can take a lot of time to clean and prepare it before you can use it in your projects. Good news! There’s now a certified, ready-to-use Workday data source that works smoothly with Tableau Prep!
What’s New?
This new data source makes it easier to bring Workday Journal Line data into Tableau Prep without needing to write extra code or fix messy data. It’s designed to save time and reduce frustration, so you can focus more on analysis and less on cleanup.
Why It’s Helpful:
Let’s say you want to combine Workday data with Adaptive Plan line data for a report. With this new setup, that process becomes much simpler and faster.
Where to Find It:
Look for it in Tableau Desktop under the name:
“Tableau Prep ONLY – [CERTIFIED] Workday Journal Line – Live Connection.”
Additional Tips:
