Input Data: SHP file records limited???

TowerOfPower

Hi all--

I'm reading in a SHP file of business locations across the U.S.  The file should be ~11 million records. However, the Northeastern states (NY, MA, MD, etc) are not showing up.

 

First thought was the file is corrupted. So I threw it into QGIS... all 11 million records are plotted correctly.

 

So then I think maybe it's a memory allocation issue. Went into Config >> Runtime and increased it to 5GB. Still nothing...

 

I notice that the file uses a non-conventional projection (EPSG:3857) and Alteryx doesn't immediately recognize it (have to type into Customer Projection dialogue box). Wondering if something is going wrong in the conversion process...

 

Any help from the Community would be hugely appreciated (as I'm sort of up against it)!

 

Thanks!

Mike
