Is there a Tableau Desktop executable inside the Tableau server installation.

I have a system where Tableau server in Cloud and would want to use Tableau Desktop in the same server? Is that feasible?

Thanks for sharing the great input here about Tableau. Its essential these days to have tableau online training and become expert in the field.

Tableau Server lets you make limited edits to existing workbooks, but you can not create new workbooks directly.

However, if you want to install Tableau Desktop separately, on the same cloud server that hosts your Tableau Server, it may (or may not) be doable depending on the specifications of the cloud server.

Tableau Server and Desktop are two different products and Server does not ship with a copy of Desktop.

They can both be installed on the same windows machine, but I would never do that except for trouble-shooting reasons (ideally you should install Tableau Server on a dedicated machine so that it does not have to fight anything else for resources).

Tableau Desktop and tableau server are two different product. Both have their different executable files. Desktop is created for development purposes while server is created for more sharing and authentications purposes. You can do some edits in server, but you cannot create a new dashboard on server.

As others mentioned, Tableau Desktop and Server are separate products and have separate executable. We used to have Tableau desktop installed on Server to publish extracts and manage our extracts which were developed using API

Tableau Server provides permissioned users with the ability to leverage Web Authoring to create/edit server content. Web authoring has the same look/feel as desktop, and has most of the features.

Many go this route as it comes with your server license, so the additional desktop purchase is not necessary. More Info Here

Tableau Desktop Tableau Desktop can be used to create worksheets, dashboards, stories connecting to data sources which can be files or server One can share their work locally by sending the workbook (twbx). But it is important to know that the recipient should have Tableau Desktop or Tableau Reader in their PC By sharing it locally we would not be able to restrict the end user from making changes to the Workbook. This will end up in having multiple versions of the same report in different locations Tableau desktop is best use for developers to build in reports to give insights to decision makers Tableau Desktop- Development

Tableau Server Tableau Server can be used to publish the worksheet, dashboard and stories that are created using Tableau Desktop Once the workbook is uploaded onto the server, the recipient need not have Tableau Server installed in their PC.
