Why are we saying it needs to have a worksheet?

@bcantoni had that comment/change in his PR, so I kept it. On the other hand, we tell them to use the Datasources sample, so we should probably say open a Superstore workbook, or a workbook that has a data source.

OK. I changed this to say:
"Start Tableau and open a workbook that has a dashboard, or open a workbook and create a new dashboard. For example, you could use one of the Tableau sample workbooks like Superstore to start with."

I think this wording sounds good. My original "with at least one worksheet" didn't make much sense, but what I intended here was to suggest they use a dashboard with something on it. We instruct people to use the Samples/DataSources.trex extension, but it won't have anything to report if used on a new empty dashboard.

@johnDance @bcantoni same story here. We probably don't need to say "with at least one worksheet" When you open a new workbook, it automatically creates a worksheet. In this example, where we just get the name of the dashboard, it doesn't matter if it's blank.

Yes, having it in there makes it sound like a requirement. While most extensions need a worksheet, it isn't a requirement.
By the way, I only tagged one of these statement. There was at least 1 above here, or maybe two.

@johnDance Correct. There were two places where I added the "with at least one worksheet." I've removed that from both. In this case (trex_create.md), I just left it the way it was "open a workbook with a dashboard, or create an new dashboard.."
