Can u explain the browse tool behavior here

Hi there,

Im kinda confused by my alteryx's browse tool results. Here on the first screenshot i used a select records and it matches perfectly as u can see below.( numbers of records)

But when im looking directly after the macro output there is things i don't understand. Why the number of records here isn't matching while the full sheets etcs are on the third screenshot after a sort tool ( ascending):

Here is my output after the sort

If someone knows can you please enlighten me on it ? tysm.

There are limits noted in the Browse tool when it comes to data size! https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/in-out-tools/browse-tool.html#id563119

@alexnajm I checked the link you sent and it says that the browse limit is 300MB but on my Workflow its only 78/94MB so i still don't get it.

As it says, it's not 1 to 1 - "300 MB of record size is not the same as 300 MB of file size". That's why when you sort the data differently, you get a different set of counts!
