Tableau Connector for Xero

Build 24.0.9060

CreateReportSchema

Saves a dynamic ProfitAndLoss report as a custom schema.

CreateReportSchema

CreateReportSchema creates a schema file based on the specified report. This schema adds a table to your existing list that corresponds with the results of your report, which can then be queried like other tables. (Reports from the Xero are not modeled by connector as queryable tables by default.)

The generated schema file outlines the metadata for the report, such as columns and column data types. You can edit the file to adjust data types, rename columns, and include or exclude columns.

Updating a Report Schema

In the following example, the SP CreateReportSchema creates a new report using TestReportTest1 as a base template. It appends new columns to TestReportTest1 and creates a new report, named TestReport2. The new report is saved as ...\\TestReportTest2.rsd.
EXECUTE [CreateReportSchema] 
    [ReportName] = "TestReportTest2",
    [CustomFieldIdsPrimitive] = "1459925,1459928",
    [CustomFieldIdsDropdown] = "1469785",
    [CustomDimensionKeyIds] = "13539564",
    [BaseReportName] = "TestReportTest1", 
    [FileName] = "...\\TestReportTest2.rsd"
