Create a .twbx with file-based data sources

1) Select File > Save As.

2) Specify a file name for the packaged workbook in the Save As dialog box.

3)Select Tableau Packaged Workbooks on the Save as type drop-down list.

4) Click Save.

5) The default location is the Workbooks folder of the Tableau repository. However, you can save packaged workbooks to any directory you choose.

The following files are included in packaged workbooks:

--> Background images

--> Custom geocoding

--> Custom shapes

--> Local cube files

--> Microsoft Access files

--> Microsoft Excel files

--> Tableau extract files (.hyper or .tde)

--> Text files (.csv, .txt, etc.)

When the Physical Tables option is selected for an extract in Tableau, an individual table is created for each physical table in the extract. This means that the extract will include a separate table for each underlying table in your database, maintaining the database's structure within the extract. This can be useful when you need to preserve the original granularity of the data or when working with certain database optimizations.

The View Data window displays as much of the data as possible by default, up to 10,000 rows. This can be increased though, if you wish to.
