You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .tde. Files with the file extension .tde can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .tde files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .tde file?
The TDE data file format is used by Tableau Desktop, a whiteboard visualization and analysis application. It may contain data extracted from external sources such as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Access. TDE files are used for storing external data in a format recognized by the Tableau software. These pieces of data can be text, numerical and statistical data among others. This software must be installed into the system in order to allow the user to create, open and modify the content of these TDE files. Since Tableau Desktop is implemented with compatibility support for widely used versions of Microsoft Windows, users of computers that run on these operating systems can install Tableau Desktop in order to start creating, opening, viewing and editing the content of these TDE files.
how to open a .tde file?
Launch a .tde file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .tde file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .tde files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .tde file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .tde file will open the correct application.

Tableau Desktop
Tableau Desktop is a program used to produce graphics, reports and dashboards of any given data. The source can be in the form of a simple spreadsheet (Excel workbook), text files (.csv) or a database (SQL server or Oracle). Once information is entered into the program, it can display information in various graphical displays. Data can created in form of a chart, table, plot or a map. It also allows users to view, filter, sort, organize, calculate and summarize data. Data and results can be shared to any Tableau users or by copying the produced output into other programs like Microsoft office. Tableau Desktop works with Windows 7, XP, Vista, Server 2008/ 2003 and Microsoft Windows 8. A minimum system requirement of AMD Opteron or a Pentium 4 is a required with 250 MB of available disk space. Being a data visualization program, a 32-bit color depth is highly recommended for better graphic output.a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .tde files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .tde. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
