Connect Excel to Tableau

Kondado reads any worksheet of an Excel file stored on OneDrive or SharePoint and makes it available to Tableau through a “Via Kondado” connection. You paste the file address, choose the worksheet, and Kondado uses the first filled row as the header, turning each title into a column. The result is a ready pipeline you can point to Tableau and use to build charts, scorecards and reports. No intermediate database and no complex setup are involved.

With Kondado, your Excel data reaches Tableau on a schedule you control, such as every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hourly or daily. Teams build a dashboard once and keep it updated automatically, so budget reviews, sales targets and campaign results are always based on the latest rows in the spreadsheet.

The Spreadsheet pipeline brings each worksheet into Tableau as a set of columns, one for every header in the first filled row. That means your Budget worksheet, your Sales Targets worksheet and your Campaign Costs worksheet can all become charts, scorecards and trend lines in the same Tableau workbook. Marketing teams compare planned spend against actual results, operations teams follow order volumes by region, and finance teams track monthly variances. With updates on a schedule you choose, the numbers in your Tableau dashboard follow the spreadsheet, so weekly reviews start from a current picture.

How to create Excel dashboards in Tableau

Visualize your data automatically — no spreadsheet exports or custom scripts.

1
Connect Excel as a data source

Add Excel on Kondado, paste the address of the file stored on OneDrive or SharePoint, and choose the worksheet you want to read. Kondado turns the first filled row into headers and creates the Spreadsheet pipeline.

2
Select Tableau as the destination

Pick Tableau as the destination and use the "Via Kondado" connection, with no intermediate database to configure. Tableau then shows the worksheet columns as fields ready to drag into a view.

3
Build dashboards and configure data refresh

Create your charts and scorecards in Tableau, then set the update frequency in Kondado, from every 5 minutes to daily. Your dashboards keep following the spreadsheet on the schedule you chose.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Answers about visualizing Excel data in Tableau automatically

How do I connect my Excel file to Tableau with Kondado? ▼
Add Excel as a data source on Kondado, paste the address of the file stored on OneDrive or SharePoint, and select the worksheet you want to read. Kondado uses the first filled row as the header and creates one column per title, with normalized names. The worksheet becomes a Spreadsheet pipeline that Tableau reads through the "Via Kondado" connection.
How often can my Excel data be refreshed in Tableau? ▼
You choose the update frequency when you set up the pipeline: every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, hourly, daily or another interval that fits your routine. Each scheduled update reads the worksheet again, so new rows and edited values appear in the next refresh. Budget reviews can run daily while campaign tracking can run every 15 minutes.
Which worksheets from my Excel file can I visualize in Tableau? ▼
You can read any worksheet from the file, and each one becomes its own pipeline, so a workbook with Budget, Targets and Costs sheets can feed several dashboards. Just paste the file address and pick the sheet you need. You can see the details on the Excel data source page.
What KPIs can I track in a Tableau dashboard built on Excel data? ▼
Common choices are budget versus actual spend, sales target attainment by team, cost per campaign, order volume by region and monthly variance. Because each header becomes a column, any numeric field in your worksheet can become a measure in Tableau. You can combine several worksheets in one dashboard to compare plans against results.
Do I need technical skills to build these Tableau dashboards? ▼
No code is required. Kondado handles the connection, and Tableau's drag-and-drop editor lets you place columns on rows, columns and marks to shape a chart. Business users in marketing, operations and finance can put together a first scorecard in a short working session.
Can I share the Tableau dashboards with my colleagues? ▼
Yes. Once your workbook is published in Tableau, you share it the same way as any other dashboard, with permissions set per user or group. The published view follows the schedule configured in Kondado, so everyone works from the same current picture. You can also send the same worksheet to Looker Studio or Power BI when another team prefers a different tool.
Can I use the same Excel data in other tools besides Tableau? ▼
Yes. The same worksheet can feed Google Sheets, BigQuery or PostgreSQL alongside your Tableau workbook. Each destination keeps its own update schedule, so a finance team can work in a spreadsheet while analysts explore the same rows in a database.
What happens when new rows are added to the Excel worksheet? ▼
Each scheduled update reads the worksheet again, so rows added below the last filled line arrive with the next refresh. The pipeline also carries the Excel row number, which helps you trace a chart value back to its original line in the file.
