Step 2: Create Google Analytics profile or use your gmail account to activate it. Once its been created, you have to create google analytics account (max is 100).
Step 3: Copy the Global Site Tag (gtag.js) tracking code under User Management and then Tracking Code.
Step 4: Put the copied tracking code in <html><head> ......</head> </html>. For example:
Step 5: Embed the your code with html tags in the website which you can host on free web servers like wix.com. Publish the website and copy the website link. This web site link will be used as a tag for your dashboard to get reporting on users visiting on your dashboard.
Step 6: Now open your dashboard in Tableau Desktop. Drag and drop Web Page object on your dadhboard and provide the website link you just copied.
Make sure you hide this web container behind other floating objects so that it is not visible in the dashboard. Once you have done, upload your dashboard again on Tableau Public server
Step6: Now you can track the visitors on your dashboard. You can install Google Analytics mobile app and see the real time visitors information or you can create your own dashboard based on the google analytics data extracted from your dashboard. Part2 of this article will be based on how you can extract data from the Google Analytics and make it "real time" and also refresh periodically so that it will reflect updated data on your dashboard.
