"The Paxata Web Data Connector for Tableau integrates best-in-class data preparation and data visualization to make insight delivery one step easier."

"What Clarity has created with their WDC for Paxata is a perfect example of what a great partnership can produce. The Clarity WDC brings Paxata directly into the Tableau experience and is a fantastic complement to our industry-leading ClicktoPrep connection from Tableau to Paxata."

The Tableau connector allows business analysts to:

  • Import data directly from Paxata without leaving Tableau
  • Easily find the data they need from the Paxata Data Library
    • Users can search for data by tag, file name or description, making it easy for them to find data relevant to them
