Clipboard Connections

Clipboard Data Sources:-

• Sometimes you want to pull in data from an outside source for some quick analysis. Rather than create a whole data source and then connect in Tableau, you can copy and paste the data directly into the application. 
• Tableau automatically creates a data source that you can begin analyzing. When you save the workbook, the data source is saved as a tab delimited text file into your Tableau Repository.
• You can copy and paste data from a variety of office applications including Microsoft Excel and Word. 
• You can also copy and paste html tables from webpages. 
• Tables that are copied as comma separated values or tab delimited can be pasted into Tableau. Please be aware that not all applications use these formats when copying.
