Introducing the Tableau-to-Excel Tool

As a contractor at Starschema, I had the opportunity to contribute to developing the Tableau-to-Excel tool, a web app empowering users to receive regular reports directly in their inbox, fully consumable by Excel. The process is simple yet highly effective:

Add Email Address: Users provide their email addresses, ensuring they receive the reports directly in their inboxes.

Receive Excel Reports: As per the chosen schedule, the reports are automatically generated and sent to the specified email address. The reports are presented in Excel, making data analysis and manipulation seamless.
