The Reckon Connector simplifies this by exposing rich metadata for automated data discovery, with intelligent row scanning, type detection, and relationship mapping. It also supports unstructured data, letting you explore your Reckon data natively within Tableau's familiar interface—no prep work required.

Getting Started
Does the Reckon Tableau Connector support Tableau Cloud?
Tableau Cloud does not support the deployment of custom connectors. As a result, deploying reports that connect Reckon and Tableau cloud is not possible with the CData Tableau connector for Reckon.
Instead, Reckon Tableau cloud connectivity is possible through CData Connect Cloud. Connect Cloud is a SaaS platform that provides real-time access to all your cloud data from Tableau Desktop or Tableau Cloud. No coding, installation, or special skills required.
Where can I find the Tableau Reckon connector download?
All of the CData Tableau Connectors for Reckon integration are freely available for download online. A 30-day trial of the Tableau Reckon download can be found alongside other supported Tableau Reckon integration technologies like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, SQL Server SSIS, and more.
What is the difference between a Tableau Reckon Driver and the CData Reckon Tableau Connector?
Unlike a Tableau Reckon driver, CData offers a native Tableau Reckon connector for a seamless and optimized experience. Tableau drivers typically rely on an ODBC or JDBC layer, requiring separate tableau add ins, installation and configuration. A Reckon Tableau driver delivered this way can introduce latency due to external driver dependencies. In contrast, CData connectors provide native Tableau analytics connectivity, delivering optimized performance through direct integration.
