Importing large files into Alteryx

[ssubramanian]

Hi,

I have an input file of size 37 GB. The import was 38% complete in 9 hours and I killed the process. Is there  a more efficient way of importing or is there a way we can split the files before importing?

You could read it with no delimiter (\0) and then split it in Alteryx using the text to columns tool.

Curious to know @ssubramanian if you were able to resolve issue? And what work around you implemented to resolve this

@sanjay_shinde - that message is form like 5 years ago... What kind of issue are you facing now - these tend to be ram related so it's kind of how many gb of ram do you have -what else can you shut down on your system - then it goes to how do you partition your file...
