Downloading Data from Tableau Reports

Every report can be downloaded in a number of ways.  The “tool bar” will either display at the top or the bottom of the screen, look for the download icon:

When you click on the download icon you will get the following choices:

PDF allows you to print the report as a PDF.  This option allows you to select multiple views (tabs) and consolidate in one report. 

Crosstab downloads the data as displayed in the report into excel.  This is for one view at a time.

Data downloads the data that was used to create the tab into excel.  Generally, the data download option includes more information than the crosstab report. 

Image downloads a picture of the view.  This is not recommended.

Helpful hints, some tabs have multiple worksheets on the same tab—Example in the NEIS Periodic Procurement Report the Section 1 summary includes two worksheets, one is the summary table and the other is calculation of the competitive percentage.  When working in a view like this, Tableau will download the data that pertains to the worksheet that your cursor is in.  So, if you want to download the table itself, your cursor would have to be active in the table.
