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!

Since WDC isn’t an option, I'd consider exporting Smartsheet data as CSVs for Tableau or using third-party tools like Zapier for integration. Power BI might be a better choice with its direct Smartsheet connector, though it requires some setup. Let me know if you'd like help exploring these options!
