Hi,

It's pretty rare for Tableau and Smartsheet to be used that way - but it makes so much sense!

Something else related to those two products that I love is you can embed Smartsheet forms into Tableau dashboards, so that if there is some kind of insight found in the data, you can record any actions immediately into Smartsheet.

I was working with a brewer in the past who would look at their brew data using Tableau, and if there was something they wanted to follow up on, they'd fill in a Smartsheet form which was embedded into the dashboard, so that they never forgot to chase down any issues.

Cheers,
Lindsay
