Downloading .csv File

Hi everyone, 

 

I want the .csv from this link https://falextracts.s3.amazonaws.com/Contract%20Opportunities/datagov/ContractOpportunitiesFullCSV.c... to be downloaded by Alteryx with all the data read in (ie the same as I would input this file in Excel format). 

 

How can I achieve this?

 

Thanks!

Hi, 

 

Thanks but that I achieved myself. :D 

 

I need the actual .csv data (which is in the file) to be present.

 

Thanks!

Hi @insomned 

 

Now it is working. Take a look.

But I still cannot see the data itself in Alteryx..

The previous version was just downloading, this new one will be able to download + import it to alteryx:

But i saw now that the link that you provided expired, it had some embedded authentication:

This is great, thank you for sharing.

 

I hit a problem when trying to use it as the csv download file's data starts on line 6 - how would I insert that into the workflow to ensure I get the csv?

 

Thanks

Found it - by editing the dynamic input
