Overview
Use SAQL (Salesforce Analytics Query Language) to access data in Analytics Cloud
datasets. Analytics Cloud uses SAQL behind the scenes in lenses,
dashboards, and explorer to gather data for visualizations.
Developers can write SAQL to
directly access Analytics Cloud data via:
- Tableau CRM REST API
Build your own app to access and analyze Analytics Cloud data or integrate data with existing apps.
- Dashboard JSON
Create advanced dashboards. A dashboard is a curated set of charts, metrics, and tables.
- Compare Table
Use SAQL to perform calculations on data in your tables and add the results to a new column.
- Transformations During Data Flow
Use SAQL to perform manipulations or calculations on data when bringing it in to Tableau CRM.
