2. Re: Open workbook with newer version
Tommy xu Oct 13, 2017 12:42 PM (in response to haitham Farouk)1 of 1 people found this helpfulYes I have a way of doing it, I just used 10.0 desktop version to open 10.2 twbx file.
First you need to extract the twbx by right click the file (I assume you have zip software installed like securezip)
You will get a twb file with 2 folders: Data and Image.
Now right click on the twb file and open with notepad:
change the version number to the version of tableau you have installed, and save the file.
Now try to load the file using your tableau, it should work just fine.
