title: How to get data FROM tableau?
body: <p>I have a bunch of data in Tableau. I'd like to get it into Excel.</p>
  
  <p>Instead of making a report, then parsing that report, I'd like to hook Excel up directly to Tableau. </p>
  
  <p>Tableau is grabbing data from a database, but due to "logic" we can't hook Excel up directly to the database... as easy as Excel makes it to do...</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to make an ODBC connection or some other power query connection directly from Excel to Tableau?</p>
