How to connect Smartsheet with tableau desktop on Mac OS
Hi All,
I am trying to create a connection to tableau with my smartsheet to pull data into tableau , I am able to do this in windows os using the smartsheet live data connector, but i am not able to find an equivalent for that on MAC os , is there anyway i can make it work on Mac, any pointer /links would be highly beneficial
Regards
Vishal

Hi @vishal
The Live Data Connector (LDC) works with Microsoft Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows Server 2012. (See the Requirements in the documentation here).
Macs use the Web Data Connector (WDC). Here's Tableau's documentation on the Web Data Connector.
See also: Gain valuable insight with the Smartsheet for Tableau integration.
Cheers,

Thanks for your response, I did manage to use the WDC to connect, however I am still facing issue while trying to publish the sheet as a data source in the tableau server , I have written the issue in detail here https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/89879/error-in-adding-smartsheet-as-data-source-in-tableau-server#latest
Can you please take a look and let me know the possible solutions/workarounds
