Downloading tableau workbook from tableau server with data

1. you must have the permission to download.at least Interactor
2. 

click "download", then save the workbook as "twbx" file to include data in the package file.

if your permission is "viewer", you cannot download tableau reports.

one more thing you could do is. open workbook on server>>>>click download>>>>>select data>>>>go to full data>>> select show all column>>> download all row as text file

now download the workbook create a new data source with a text file you just downloaded. select create an extract

after completion, select replace data source

and it's done.

With a live connection you will not be able to download the data with a Tableau workbook. For this you can follow this pocedure :

Create an extract connection in your workbook and publish it in the server with an refresh schedule to it (As per you Data updates). Now whenever you download the workbook it will come with the last refreshed data with it.

Hope it helps :)

make the data connection as extract, then it will copy with data copy in dashboard.

1. Download your workbook.
2. Edit your data Sources
3. Right-click Data Source and select "Create Local Copy"
4. Select the original data source .. right click it and replace it with the local copy
5. Lastly, right-click the original data source and close it.

There you have your workbook with a local extract(tde) You can refresh this local extract anytime you want by refreshing the data source.

You can do so by using tableau extract file(.twbx) But if the workbook has large data and can't create extract locally, then we can use something called empty extract.

Here's how https://www.tableau.com/about/blog/2013/9/easy-empty-local-extracts-25152

Make an empty extract using above method and load it on server. Let server build the full extract and then download it. You are good to go with that workbook.

Since the workbook is using a live connection, the data is still on the SQL database and not on Tableau Server.

If you want to be able to create a packaged workbook for demo use, then you'll have to create an extract of the data that can be saved with the workbook. Create an extract connection in your workbook and publish it in the server with an refresh schedule to it (As per you Data updates). Now whenever you download the workbook it will come with the last refreshed data with it.

You can save it as a .twbx or download from the published version
