Hi Ross,

As far as I know, there still isn't a way to do this right from Tableau.  You can see a lot of info about each worksheet, including the calculations used and their formulas, by going to Worksheet > Describe Sheet when you're on a worksheet in Desktop, but that's still only info about one sheet at a time, and you have to copy and paste the text elsewhere.

Some people have found ways to leverage the XML of Tableau files to extract info:  https://community.tableau.com/ideas/1886

And there are (paid) external tools that can handle what you're looking for.  Two I know of are Alteryx and RapidDox:

I completely agree that this would be awesome functionality for Tableau to add!  And I would love to be corrected if someone else out there knows how to do this from within Tableau.

Best,

Jen

Resurrecting an old post with a different solution: you can copy a worksheet from one Tableau workbook and paste it into another by right-clicking the worksheet and selecting "Copy." The data source, along with all of the calculated fields, will import into the new workbook.

This feature is quite essential for managing large workbook. It is also fairly easy to do so I am surprised that it's not available.

Try my shiny app: https://tony-yanjun.shinyapps.io/Tableau_zen_parser/

You will need to install R and Rstudio to run it locally, the code is here: https://github.com/33Vito/Tableau_Zen_Parser
