# Connect MDP with Tableau

Connect Marketing Cloud Intelligence Data Pipelines with Tableau to easily query your data. With the MDP Tableau integration, you get harmonization capabilities with MDP’s ETL solution and Tableau’s advanced visualization tools.

You can connect your data from MDP to Tableau in two ways:

- MDP integration with Tableau (push method)
- MDP connector in Tableau (pull method)

Here’s a comparison of the two methods looking at which features are available:

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small ">
        <colgroup>
          <col style="width:33.33333333333333%">

        </colgroup>
        <thead class="slds-text-title_caps ">

Known Issues:

- To prevent data source failures, all Tableau reports have unique names.
- You can add or remove dimensions and measurements in reports that are part of an existing Tableau data source. However, changing names of dimensions and measurements that are part of a data source can cause processing failures.
- If your Tableau Server instance is protected for external applications, ask your team to allow the following IPs according to your MDP environment.
