Athletic dept provides all the student enrolled to their program in current term via a google sheet. We have an additional step
in making this data available to Tableau dashboard as table called student_athletic_export_csv
. We created this table since Tableau
has some issues connecting to google sheets.
Every term this table (student_athletic_export) need to updated with latest data. This table resides in the context store with user account provisioned for the project
Steps to update the table
- create a CSV File from the current term student roster
- Open the SQL editor from you SQL client and run
delete from student_athlete_export_csv
to delete all the rows - Right click on the
student_athletic_export_csv
table import CSV (from step 1) - Verify it has latest info.
