So recently I installed Tableau on my Apple Silicon Mac. It works perfectly fine. But when I tried to connect to the Microsoft SQL Server data source, I got an error. The error was something about the driver required to connect to the data source. In this article, I will show you how to fix this issue and use SQL Server data source on Tableau on Apple Silicon Mac.
To download the driver, simply click the link that comes with the error message. It will brings you to the official download page. Or you can visit the page below:
Choose the driver version that match your Tableau version. And then extract the downloaded zip file.
And then copy the file called mssql-jdbc-12.10.0.jre11.jar. This file is located under jars folder. Copy this file and paste into the following folder
~/Library/Tableau/Drivers
Close and re-open Tableau. Now you should be able to connect to Microsoft SQL Server from Tableau.
