How to download specifc rows when using Tableau Desktop?


  • We are using Tableau 2022
  • We are aware we can use the DOWNLOAD object to download the data from a sheet.
  • We know we can even rigtht-click on a specific sheet row (when inside the Dashboard) then select "View Data" and from there click on the DOWNLOAD button to finally select the default ".csv" format etc.

QUESTION : Could we minimize these steps for the users by allowing them let's say to click on a specific row of data and then clicking on a download BUTTON that would allow us to do the same but in less steps ?

Thank you.
