A data analyst needs to share a Tableau workbook with a colleague. The colleague does not have access to the live database connection used in the workbook. Which file format should be used to ensure the colleague can open the workbook and see all the visualizations?
.twb
.tds
.hyper
.twbx
The correct answer is .twbx. A Tableau Packaged Workbook (.twbx) is a single zip file that contains the workbook (.twb) along with any supporting local data sources, such as data extracts (.hyper), Excel files, or background images. This format is the best way to share work with others who do not have access to the original live data source.
A .twb file only contains the structure of the workbook, its sheets, and dashboards, along with the connection information for the data source; it does not contain the data itself. A .tds file is a Tableau Data Source file, which is a shortcut for connecting to data and contains connection information and modifications, but not the actual data or the workbook's visualizations. A .hyper file is a Tableau data extract, which is a local, compressed copy of a dataset, but it does not include the workbook's visualizations or dashboards.
