Hi velez,
I hope this clears whats going on there when you save workbook in .twbx format.

Hil,

The actual problema is that the size of the file increasses to much! Almost 17000% of the .twb size.

This started a few days ago, in the past i could sabe as a .tbwx and the size didnt change that much

I really dont know what is going on

Help!!!

Hi Velez,
When you save Tableau Workbook in .twb format it doesnot save your data source.
When you save that in .twbx format it saves data source too. If your datasource is increases daily then your .twbx file size also increases daily. I hope its clear

Hello,

Thank you for the explanation, i understand that.

Is it posible that the size increasses that much, because on previous files it didnt, a few days back it started this problema, and the datasource hasnt change as much.

Thank you for your time.

I've noticed my tde file increases by 3x when publishing to the server. I have not gotten any clear explanation, but if anybody can provide insight, this would be great!

Are you using custom geocoding?

Try to unzip that .twbx and look what's there in that data folder
