Connecting to Less
Tableau
- Whitelist the IP from whereever you’re working in Tableau on the Less Database (or your own).
- Open Tableau. On the left-hand side, you should see a menu with a “To a Server” section. Click “More” there and search for “MySQL” and select “MySQL”.
- Fill in Host, Port, Database name, Username and Password fields with the relevant credentials found in Less (these). You can leave the port as 3306 (the default value)
- Click “Sign In” and you should see your tables under “Table” on the left-hand side of Tableau.
