Summary

You can find the Neo4j Tableau connector code and documentation in our neo4j-contrib/neo4j-tableau GitHub Repository. This connector allows users to make their graph data accessible in Tableau, a popular integration request for Neo4j. The supported means of accessing graph query results from Neo4j include integration with the Tableau Web Data Connector, Neo4j Server extension to generate and publish TDE files, and a standalone tool to generate and publish TDE files from JDBC. A small web application is provided to run locally or deploy somewhere for this purpose. Users can configure the Neo4j connection information and Cypher query within the Tableau component using its URL. Additionally, there are options for higher volume and lower-level integration with Tableau, as well as a Neo4j Server extension for generating and publishing TDE files directly to the server. The connector has been tested with Tableau 9 and 10, and feedback is welcome to improve the integration.
