I'm utilizing Tableau Desktop 10.2 to create some large .CSV files. Please note I do not have Tableau Server, so cannot use TABCMD.
My current process to publish the files is:
- Manually refresh my extract (a SQL query). I am NOT using a live connection.
- Right click in the data pane
- Select "Select All"
- Select "View Data"
- Select "Export All"
Unfortunately, Tableau seems a little slow when it comes to step #3 (Select All).
The file is about 17 columns wide and contains ~250,000 rows.
Question: Is there a control-key or function I could use to speed up this process?
Per above, I cannot use TABCMD. Also, due to company security issues, I cannot use third-party key loggers.
Thanks for any help!
Also something to think about-- regardless of if there are quick-keys or not, could the way in which I am presenting the data be over taxing Tableau and therefore slowing it down?
I require all the data above (17 columns, 250k+ rows) in the output, but maybe there are some tricks I can use that will not drain Tableau resources?
Michael,
To select the Data you could use cntrl+a. I don't see one for View Data however. Maybe this link will help: Keyboard Shortcuts
Just curious, are you using the export all button? Because you could Use Worksheet > Export > Data as described here: Export Data
and this is absolute gold if need be: The Greatest Tableau Tip EVER: Exporting CSV made simple!
Hope this helps!
