Tableau Tip : Exporting CSV made Simple

I would like to Thanks Andy Kriebel for the wonderful tip.

We’ve all heard this question before: How can I export a CSV in Tableau? To be honest, it’s quite the pain and way more difficult than it should be. There have always been a few options.
Users can click on a specific sheet on a dashboard and then export that via the tiny button on the toolbar, but that has a few of its own problems:
(1) You may not want to show the toolbar therefore making the export impossible, 
(2) People have to be trained to know exactly where to click to get it just right, and 
(3) You have no control over the output of the CSV. You can export a CSV using Tabcmd, but that’s not useful for the average dashboard consumer. You can add .csv to the end of the URL like http://[Tableau Server Location]/views/[Workbook Name]/[View Name].csv. 
But again, you never know what that output is going to look like. 

Lets look at the article here.
