"Data Extract Required" Message When Publishing to Tableau Cloud

Udgivelsesdato: Mar 19, 2026
Beskrivelse

When you publish a workbook to Tableau Cloud, the following message occurs:

Data Extract Required
The Tableau server you are publishing to does not permit external database connections. Use the Data menu to create an extract for the following data source:
<data-source-name>

Cause

Tableau Cloud supports live connections to some data source types that are accessible to Tableau Cloud, or to data sources which are configured to use Tableau Bridge Client to maintain a live connection.

Løsning

For a workbook that uses a live connection to a data source type that is not specified in the product documentation Connect to Data on Tableau Cloud, you must either create an extract in Tableau Desktop or configure the connection to use Tableau Bridge before you can publish the workbook to Tableau Cloud .


To create an extract and publish the data source:

  1. Save extract as a .tds (Tableau Data Source) file.
  2. Publish the .tds file to Tableau Cloud.
  3. Connect to the published extract in Tableau Desktop.
  4. Publish the workbook to Tableau Cloud.

See the Using Embedded Data Sources product help page for steps to publish a workbook with an embedded live data source using Tableau Bridge Client.
