The Tableau Packaged Data Source includes all of the metadata about the connection to the data source, the original fields from the data source, any calculated fields and properties configured in Tableau Desktop Professional and the actual data. When using local data sources and you want to share a data source with a college, we recommend the next file type or a Tableau Packaged Workbook. This is because files local to your computer are just that, local to your computer and your computer only. If your Tableau Data Source points to a file local to your computer, sharing the file with colleges could generate frustration rather than boost productivity…LOL. Assuming your colleges have access to the data sources. Tableau Data Sources are a wonderful way to share data sources with colleges.
In addition, a Tableau Data Source also includes detailed information about calculated fields, data types and much more. The same principle holds true for every data source type Tableau Desktop Professional supports. For example, if you connect your Workbook to an Excel spreadsheet in your My Documents folder, creating a Data Source will contain the information necessary to find that file on your local computer. We recommend careful consideration when sharing Packaged Workbooks that contain sensitive data.Ī Tableau Data Source includes the connection information necessary to connect to a data source. However, the file type does not secure your data. This file type includes all of the data you used to create your dashboards. However, as mentioned above, large data sets carry a bit of overhead when the Workbook is first opened. The Tableau Packaged Workbook file type is ideal for sharing your stunning data visualizations with colleges. You can create a Packaged Workbook by clicking the “ Save as…” on the Tableau Desktop Professional File menu.Īfter selecting Save as…, you can then choose “ Tableau Packaged Workbook” from the Save as type drop down list.
#SAVE TO TABLEAU PUBLIC ARCHIVE#
The Tableau Packaged Workbook is the archive file type you can create with Tableau Desktop Professional that contains dashboards, worksheets and the data in a single file. If you send this file type to a college via email or some other way, your college won’t be able to view your stunning data visualization because Tableau Workbooks don’t include the data necessary to generate the data visualization. Performance is a premium when iterating thru data visualization ideas. Using this file type will prevent Tableau from having to unpack the large data each time the Workbook is opened. For example, let’s say you have a data source that has 100 million rows of is 20 GB in size. The Tableau Workbook file type is ideal for iterating through your data visualization ideas without processing overhead. So what type of file does Tableau Public create, the answer leads us to the next Tableau File Type. This is because Tableau Public is designed to always publish data to the Tableau Public cloud server. Also note, you CANNOT create this file type with Tableau Public. This file type DOES NOT include any data, custom images (shapes) or custom map graphics. The Tableau Workbook is the default file type created when you save your work using Tableau Desktop Professional.
