 # Connect to Azure Data Explorer with ODBC
 
 Open Database Connectivity ([ODBC](/sql/odbc/reference/odbc-overview)) is a widely accepted application programming interface (API) for database access. Use ODBC to connect to Azure Data Explorer from applications that don't have a dedicated connector.
 
-Behind the scenes, applications call functions in the ODBC interface, which are implemented in database-specific modules called *drivers*. Azure Data Explorer supports a subset of the SQL Server communication protocol ([MS-TDS](/azure/kusto/api/tds/)); therefore it can use the ODBC driver for SQL Server.

+# Visualize data from Azure Data Explorer in Tableau
+
+ [Tableau](https://www.tableau.com/) is a visual analytics platform for business intelligence. To connect to Azure Data Explorer from Tableau and bring in data from a sample cluster, use the SQL Server Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver.

+* Tableau Desktop, full, or [trial](https://www.tableau.com/products/desktop/download) version.
+
+* A cluster that includes the StormEvents sample data. For more information, see [Create an Azure Data Explorer cluster and database](create-cluster-database-portal.md) and [Ingest sample data into Azure Data Explorer](ingest-sample-data.md).
