Stop Alteryx only showing 256 characters in a cell...

Hi,

 

I am manipulating large string fields and files, and often can not look at all the output in a cell as it has been limited to a number of characters and ends with "..." plus a message stating - "This cell has >256 characters.".

 

Can this be turned off or increased?

 

Kind regards,

Peter

@PVousden121 If you connect to a browser tool you will not see the warning message in the browser tool

Have you tried adding a Browse tool and double clicking on the cell you are wanting to view the entire value of?

Hi,

 

Not completely true about the Browser until you double click but thanks for the pointer.

Doesn't adding a browser add to the overhead as an output?

 

Kind regards,

Peter
