.twbx extension is for the Tableau Packaged Workbook (TWBX) file format that encodes data used by Tableau. A TWBX file compresses a Tableau workbook file, including external sources and other embedded files. The TWBX file package contains files and data, used to generate Tableau workbooks. The data relates to dashboards, Tableau, analysis, reports, and assignments.
The TWBX files store Excel, Access, text like CSV files, Tableau hyper, and TDE extension workbook files. The TWBX contains everything needed to run a workbook on another computer. So the workbook can be distributed. TWBX files also use XML specifications. To open TWBX files requires Tableau Desktop. Tableau software encodes TWBX file content.
Most TWBX files are compressed using the ZIP algorithm. So one TWBX file can store multiple files. A TWBX contains 2 to 30 files, typically 6.
To share a workbook, zip it into a TWBX file. When receiving a TWBX file, unzip it to access the Tableau workbook. To view the content, rename a TWBX file to .zip and double-click to open. TWBX file sizes range from 45 KB to 8 MB.
