A tableau data extract (.tde file) is a native tableau format. As far as I know you cannot read it directly without using tableau. So, you need to open it in tableau and then export the data if you want to take it out of tableau.

If you want all the data you can do something like this: enter image description here

From here you can then paste into excel and save it as a .csv file which R can hit.

However, if you are happy to have the data in a .tde format you can always create R calculations in tableau. This is done by using rserver to communicated between R and tableau. See: https://www.tableau.com/sites/default/files/media/whitepaper-power-tableau-and-r.pdf
