I have tableau server 2018.2 version but How to Export Multiple Cross Tables from Tableau Server into Excel
As per my understaning, it is still not possible to download multiple sheets from a published workbook. The user has to download one at a time.
There is even an idea created to promote this feature: Tableau Community Forums > Ideas > Ability To Export Whole Workbook To Excel Similar To The PDF Function
One workaround is to create a new sheet with all the data you need, in the format and order you need. There is an example here: Exporting CSV Made Simple

I am trying to make the automation in the Qlik sense app for which the App >> Sheet report should be sent to the email. The requirement for the report is an Excel sheet. Currently, I am able to send sheet reports in PDF format. Screenshot attached. But I looked into, if it's possible to export this in excel format but seems like there is no option for it.
Any help and insights would be helpful.
Thank you
We are using Qlik Nprinting for all automatic reports. It's however an addition to Qlik Sense, which means separate license, but it also gives plenty of options to automate the distribution of Qlik Sense reports.
Have a look here: https://www.qlik.com/us/products/nprinting
What this addon does in a nutshell is you create a link to the specific app from Qlik Sense. Then you can create multiple reports out of the app from each object in the app's reports. The reports can be in excel, html, QlikEntity, Word, PowerPoint and PixelPerfect type. Each report is then scheduled to execute in the desired frequency - can be daily, weekly, monthly, etc. And finally, it can be sent as an email attachment or saved in a desired folder.
You can create a worksheet using the Microsoft Excel connector (Creates Workbook Session) and read the table data from Qlik Sense App using the "Get Straight Table Data block" and insert the data into the worksheet (Add Row To Table)

I was wondering if it is possible to print/down large PDF large report from a dashboard that requires many pages with a company logo. I tried view and it is only what is on my screen and the specific sheets from this dashboard does not include the logo which I need.
Not big text tables like that :( Essentially Tableau is a dashboarding tool and what you have created is a massive spreadsheet - that you now want to turn into a PDF? (yikes!!)
I'd revisit your requirements. Is it easier to pull the data directly from the database as a CSV? and then do some formatting? A PDF will be a nightmare for any user.
Tableau has (in my own opinion) limited features about exporting data in different formats, and it is because it is not a reporting tool (like SAP BusinessObjects for example).
The best way to add a company logo is to add an "Image" block inside your dashboard with the logo. The following image shows how to add in Tableau Online, I can't understand if you're using Tableau Online or Tableau Server, you mention Tableau Web that does not exist :-) .
Now I think that your problem is if you want to repeat the logo on every single page that you export, is this your case?
Is it possible to have Tableau run a query that is stored in an external location such as SharePoint? If not, is Alteryx a tool with this particular capability?
I have a central location for my queries (SharePoint), which allows multiple people to edit the .SQL files saved there. These queries change regularly, but they end up being put into Excel files for reporting purposes. I want to be able to move from Excel to Tableau or Alteryx + Tableau. Ideally I would not have to store / edit queries within Tableau / Alteryx.
Yes, Alteryx would support this. It has a "dynamic input" tool that could run the dynamic SQL, and also has hooks to either Sharepoint or a generic URL, which you would use to retrieve the text in the first place.
I wanted to download all workbook from project without changing it's format using Tabcmd utility. Format can be TWB or TWBX.
is there any option i can get either FORMAT or WORKBOOK URL or BOTH of all tableau workbook by giving Project name, so that i can download it as backup.
I do not wanted to use POSTGRES or Tableau REST APIs. I am in need of batch script only.
There's no way of downloading all workbooks from a project using tabcmd without knowing all of the workbook names.
Although you've said you don't want use it, the REST API is the best way of doing this.
I recall seeing a direct import of a table in a Wikipedia HTML document directly into tableau. Tableau's website has a method that involves using Google doc HTML import function
=ImportHtml("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bank_failures_in_the_United_States_(2008%E2%80%93present)","table",2)
to first import the tables into a Google spreadsheet and later download the spreadsheet that can be linked to Tableau.
Is there any way to import a Wikipedia table, or anyt other HTML doc directly into Tableau?
Thanks
Tableau lets you paste data from any application that uses csv delimited text on the clipboard (not all apps do). Here's a knowledge based article on it.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work o nthe table you pointed out in your example, perhaps the HTML is too complex. But if you can somehow export the table as CSV, it can be loaded in Tableau.
Tableau Version 8 is due out soon, and has a couple different new APIs available that should help with connecting to data from various sources.
