2. After republishing the workbook, confirm the URL of the new worksheet. 
3. Add ".csv" to the end of the URL to create a link for downloading. For more information, see Link to a PNG, PDF, or CSV of a View.

Workaround 2

Although not a single Excel worksheet, the extension "Export All" Tableau Exchange can output data from different worksheets to different Excel worksheets into a single Excel file.

Additional Information

The ability to download data from all sheets into one file is not currently built into the product.

When downloading from the dashboard, it is necessary to first click on the specific sheet with the data. For related information, see Download Views and Workbooks.
