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.
