Truncating Data

[sanjit11]

Hi all,

Alteryx is truncating data in my columns. Using the select too i even changed the data type to vwstring with a size of 12345678 but the problem is still not solved,

Can someone assist with the same?

Thanks

can you share an example workflow? is the problem that your input tool is reading values in shorter than they need to be? if that happens, then by the time you get to your select tool the value has already been truncated, which is why it doesn't help

Check out the name column in the final output, it got truncated

Unfortunately, the inputs/outputs can't reference files or folders on your local machine. You would need to put some sample values in a Text Input tool, or package the data files (Export the workflow as a package). If you are using real data, please be sure it's not confidential in any way... otherwise make up some data.
