Anaplan

Connect Tableau to Anaplan and unlock enterprise planning analytics. Access live data from Anaplan's cloud-based connected planning platform directly in Tableau for finance, supply chain, workforce, and sales planning analysis.

The Anaplan connector enables real-time or extract-based connectivity to Anaplan models, workspaces, and data sources. Analyze planning scenarios, forecast accuracy, budget vs. actuals, and workforce allocation with the full power of Tableau visualizations while your data remains governed and secure within Anaplan.
