Tableau integrates with Kinetica through the Kinetica ODBC driver. Before continuing, please install this driver. You can download our ODBC driver for Windows from <https://github.com/kineticadb/kinetica-client-win-odbc>. Once you have installed the ODBC driver, follow the steps below to view your Kinetica data from Tableau.
