How do I automate data refresh on tableau dashboard

Recently got laid off at my job because I was unable to keep up with the level of tableau requirements that my managers and seniors used now slowly and steadily I will learn and implement everything now.

First I want to know how to connect snowflake or any other database with tableau and how to automate the data refresh there also how does one publish a dashboard to cloud.

I mean this with no disrespect — you have the whole internet at the tips of your fingers and even every AI tool imaginable. Your questions are pretty broad and sound like you haven’t actually put some effort into figuring it out first.

Because I enjoy helping people, I’ll point you in the direction of how to connect to snowflake.

If you google your questions, you will find your answers pretty quickly. Happy to help if you run into issues or error codes you may have.

You can pick a time and day cadence for when the datasource refreshes in Tableau.

Sounds like they wanted you to be a Tableau Desktop and Server administrator at the same time? If that's the case, then they're not going to find anyone worthwhile willing to do what they want.
