How do I connect Tableau to XML Audit File Afrekensystemen in 5 minutes?

Execute the following steps to connect Tableau to XML Audit File Afrekensystemen. You only need knowledge of Tableau, your own business and the XML Audit File Afrekensystemen administration.

XAA ("XML Auditfile Afrekensystemen") is a file format for Dutch cash registers. It is generated by some cash registers for communication with accounting software and/or the tax office.

No technical knowledge is needed nor knowledge on the XML Audit File Afrekensystemen APIs to connect XML Audit File Afrekensystemen to Tableau. This step-by-step plan will tell you exactly which steps you need to go through on Invantive Cloud to create your own Azure data warehouse with data from XML Audit File Afrekensystemen.

The steps to connect Tableau to XML Audit File Afrekensystemen are:

  1. Register an Invantive Cloud account.
  2. Create a XML Audit File Afrekensystemen database.
  3. Make the XML Audit File Afrekensystemen database available through the Tableau OData connector.
  4. Connect Tableau to XML Audit File Afrekensystemen through the connector.
  5. Load data from XML Audit File Afrekensystemen into Tableau.

Invantive Cloud offers a XML Audit File Afrekensystemen connector to download data from XML Audit File Afrekensystemen into Tableau, but there are over 75 other connectors available also for SQL, Power BI, Power Query, Tableau y Azure Data Factory.

With the XML Audit File Afrekensystemen connector for Tableau you will by default fetch the data from all connected XML Audit File Afrekensystemen companies in your dashboard. You can limit the number of XML Audit File Afrekensystemen companies that are retrieved in Tableau through the Database settings. For example, you can also limit the connector for Tableau to the data from exactly one XML Audit File Afrekensystemen company. Of course, you can also filter the data by a specific XML Audit File Afrekensystemen company using a filter step in Tableau. The XML Audit File Afrekensystemen connector for Tableau has advanced optimizations for great real-time performance with both a single XML Audit File Afrekensystemen company as well as with hundreds of XML Audit File Afrekensystemen companies.
