Connecting Smartsheet to Tableau (Mac User)

Happykamper56

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to connect Smartsheets to Tableau to create live dashboards using sheets from Smartsheet that I can share across my organization. I have explored the WDC method to set up this connection but with WDC 2.0 being deprecated in 2025 and with WDC 3.0 not being supported on Tableau public, I am starting to lose hope. How can I build a connection with Smartsheets and Tableau without relying on WDC, given it's uncertain state, and as a Mac user? If Tableau is not the best option for creating dashboards, will PowerBI be a better option instead? Thanks in advance for your help!
