I am trying to upload an excel file to my application and then use this file as a data source for Tableau Dashboard.

Problem I am facing here is that Tableau cannot access the file which I have uploaded on Appian folders.

I am open to all kinds of suggestions for this, I just need to use the data from this uploaded excel file in Tableau as the datasource.

further I will be displaying this Tableau Dashboard in my Interface using Web Content Component.

    You write "cannot access the file". What does that mean? What did you try so far?

    I have uploaded the file to a Folder in Appian cloud, I couldn't figure out a way further to use this uploaded file in Tableau. I tried exposing this file using WebAPI but running into an Authentication issue

    OK. For any access to Appian, you need valid authentication credentials. Can you configure Tableau to authenticate to Appian?

    If not, can you upload that file to some other storage Tableau has access to?
