I am trying to read population density data. How can I open .nc files in alteryx? I have attached data from SEDAC here
@Inactive User I would try using python or R to read the data in and then you can process it in alteryx. Python comes with alteryx out of the box, whereas R would require the predictive tools be installed.
So instead of the reader box, I have a zero input python box that uses maybe xarray or netcdf4 to open the data? I'm curious how Alteryx is going to understand the class of netcdf thereafter as both netcdf and xarray are not conventional or native to alteryx as they are 'datasets'. Would I be required to dissassembe them all into constants for the properties and a 3D/4D numpy array in order for Alteryx to read them? It seems there is little point using Alteryx at all when working with netcdf at the moment.
I know MatLab can convert .NC files to excel versions.
