Klaus Schulte: Using Tableau Public Templates Efficiently

"There is one thing, that I’ve always found quite difficult with Tableau Public:

It’s actually not that easy to take a workbook from Tableau Public, and use it with your own data. Most of the time you’ll take inspiration from Tableau Public, and recreate a visualization from scratch. Not very efficient. Even with the template workbooks available, it often needs blogs with accompanying Excel files or Google sheets, to update the workbooks, like described in this blog by Ken Flerlage or this one by Alexander Mou on the same topic (updating Sankey Templates) or this one by myself.

In this blog, I’ll describe a generic approach to connect your data to any (suitable) workbook available as a download on Tableau Public."
