You can export semantic model metadata for use with other applications. Use these options to export a semantic model that you want to use for analysis within Tableau and Power BI.
When you export the semantic model data for Tableau, you need to indicate which Tableau version it will be used with. You don't need to provide connection details, as the metadata and connection information are included.
For TableauTableau, verify verify the server IP address, port, and username to use for the connection to the original semantic model source or update it if needed. The username must have rights to the semantic model data.
Choose one of the following formats:
Tableau Data Source (Spark SQL)
Tableau Data Source (Kyvos ODBC). The Tableau version should be 2019.4 or later.
Power BI Data Source (Spark SQL)
The steps to export the semantic model metadata for Tableau Spark SQL and Kyvos ODBC are the same, as explained below.
