You can't directly download a data visualization from Tableau in the same way you download a file like a PDF or image. However, you can export your visualizations in various formats, making them shareable and viewable outside of Tableau.
Here's how you can export your Tableau visualizations:
1. Exporting to Static Images
- Choose a visualization: Select the visualization you want to export.
- Click "Export": Locate the "Export" button in the top-right corner of your Tableau window.
- Select "Image": From the dropdown menu, choose "Image."
- Choose an image format: You can select from various image formats like PNG, JPEG, or TIFF.
- Set image size and resolution: Adjust the image size and resolution to fit your needs.
- Save the image: Click "Export" to save the image to your computer.
2. Exporting to PDF
- Select the visualization: Choose the visualization you want to export.
- Click "Export": Locate the "Export" button in the top-right corner of your Tableau window.
- Select "PDF": From the dropdown menu, choose "PDF."
- Customize the PDF: You can adjust settings like page size, orientation, and margins.
- Save the PDF: Click "Export" to save the PDF to your computer.
3. Exporting to Tableau Public
- Publish to Tableau Public: If you want to share your visualization online, you can publish it to Tableau Public.
- Export from Tableau Public: Once published, you can download your visualization in various formats, including PNG, JPEG, and PDF.
Remember, these are just a few ways to export your Tableau visualizations. You can explore other options within the Tableau interface for more advanced exporting features.
