What is multi table extract in tableau?
Tableau Data Extract Types
Multiple table extracts: All the tables being used in the data source are stored separately in the extract file, mirroring the database structure. In certain cases, this will result in smaller extract file sizes, faster extract creation and potentially faster queries.
When would you use a multi table extract tableau?
One important use case for multiple table storage is row-level security scenarios where entitlement tables are joined and extracted with your data. Previously, joining an entitlement table and a fact table into a single table would result in too many rows for extract creation to be feasible.
How do I make multiple extracts in Tableau?
Yes, you can create as many extracts as you like. Do it from the sheet as opposed to the data window. Right click the data source name and choose extract. Name and save as you wish.
