Does BIEscape convert Tableau to Looker?

No. It extracts Tableau SQL-shaped logic and schema. You still author LookML in Looker.

Can I get a .lkml file?

Not from BIEscape today. Use the SQL script and field list as input for a manual LookML port.

Does this replace a semantic-layer migration tool?

No. It is a workbook parser and formula transpiler, not a Looker importer.

Tableau to Looker: extract logic, not LookML

Looker needs LookML views and explores. BIEscape does not write those. It transpiles Tableau formulas to SQL and inspects workbook schema so you can port logic into Looker by hand.

What BIEscape does

ANSI SQL from Tableau calculated fields as a starting point for LookML sql: fields or warehouse views.
Schema inspect of datasources, hidden columns, and parameters.
Excel extract of packaged CSV/XLSX; Hyper via the desktop converter.

Honest limits

BIEscape does not emit LookML, looks, or Looker dashboards.
INCLUDE/EXCLUDE LOD SQL needs a worksheet grain; table calcs stay as TODOs. LookML is not generated.
