Improved Export Function

Posted April 4th, 2008 by Joe
in Wouldn't it be nice if...

I would really like to see the ability to export multiple tabs to ONE Excel spreadsheet, with the tabs in Tableau being the same tabs in Excel. That would be a great enhancement. I would also like to see the printing capabilities improved. More on that later.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for the suggestion. Just to be clear, are you requesting to be able to export an entire Tableau workbook cross-tabs in excel? That is, each view in Tableau would be exported as a cross tab and become it's own worksheet in an Excel workbook?

What's the scenario that you are wanting this functionality? Specifically, what types of things are you doing with the data back in Excel after you've built the view in Tableau?

Not quite. I would like to be able to export a few tabs. Right now you can do this one tab at a time, but it would be nice to highlight a few tabs on Tableau and export them to a spreadsheet. This would be a big time saver instead of cutting and pasting. We have clients that just want a spreadsheet of data. Your Reader software does not work for us, because our datasets are so large.
