[Forward: I asked ChatGPT o1-mini who then wrote this. Hope it helps. All the credit and the blame go to ChatGPT.

I went over the plan and it looked decent. Whether it can be done in 30 days or not, it depends on the person and the time he spends on it.

In a single day, I am asked twice the same question: how to install database drivers for Tableau in Mac? The question of the day is regarding the drivers for Presto and PostgreSQL databases. The docs online may not answer the question exactly. 

Here are the exact steps:
  1. Search the driver in question and download it to your computer. It's usually in the form of a .jar file.
  2. Open your Mac Finder and copy the .jar file.
  3. Hold the Option key and click the Finder menu Go. Select Library.
  4. Go to Library>Tableau>Drivers
  5. Paste the .jar file there.
Without holding the Option key, the menu Library will not show up.

Now open your Tableau desktop. You should be able to access the database in question.

Have fun with Tableau!

Just came back from Tableau Conference 2022 at Las Vegas. What an exciting event! The most exciting thing is reuniting with old friends and meeting with the datafam people known online for years.

Attended first time the Tableau Visionary summit.

Highlighting Syntax Words

Currently a formula in Tableau can look plain and a bit uninspiring.
