String getting truncated at length 254

preethisisaac

Hi All,

I have a .csv file , in which I have a field data which is more than 500 in length, so in select tool I have used V_String (1000) , also tried using V_WString(1000), but still the field data gets truncated at  length 254.  Is this a limitation in Alteryx? Is there  a way to get the full string without getting truncated?

 

Thanks,

Preethi
