Hi

Little confusion - your heading said you are trying to download a crosstab but in the body you ask about downloading a dashboard?

You can export worksheets as a cross tab to excel as shown below

but you can not export a dashboard to excel

What is your data source?

Jim

I am not sure but I think that is the issue - maybe someone else knows for sure

Tableau server data sources can be exported crosstab to Excel.    Maybe a clue is the time it took to get the message.  How many rows and columns are in your worksheet (indicated in lower left of worksheet)?

Thanks John - I thought that was the case but was not certain

Hi Hari,

Sounds like you are trying to bombard the Excel connection with too much data at once. Try dropping a smaller amount of data into Excel to ensure that the linkage works, then scale up as far as you can.

At very least, this will confirm if you have an Excel issue or not at that end.

Hi Hurry - have you tried either 'worksheet -> copy -> crosstab' then paste into excel yourself or if you're ok with just a data list rather than crosstab, the 'copy -> data'. I've sometimes found these options work better than 'export -> crosstab'.

That's great to hear Hari!  Not sure exactly what's going on 'under the bonnet' to cause the differences, but glad it helped.
