.RECORDS file import and parseing

[JKFoil]

Hello

I'm struggling importing a .RECORDS file and changing the data into spreadsheet format. Can anyone help please.

Below is just one line of thousands. I don't recognize the format

First line in bold; "ASSET Class" is the field Name and "Foreign Exchange" is the value

second line in bold: "InstrumentType" is the field name and "Forward" is the value  

this seems to be the format but I Cant import. to Alteryx even in Text format

{"TemplateVersion":1,"Header":{"AssetClass":"Foreign_Exchange","InstrumentType":"Swap","UseCase":"FX_Swap","Level":"InstRefDataReporting"},"ISIN":{"ISIN":"EZD6JWPG0PG1","Status":"New","StatusReason":"","LastUpdateDateTime":"2021-06-21T00:05:38"},"Derived":{"FullName":"Foreign_Exchange Swap KRW USD 20220225","ClassificationType":"SFCXXP","CommodityDerivativeIndicator":"FALSE","IssuerorOperatoroftheTradingVenueIdentifier":"NA","ShortName":"NA/Swaps KRW USD 20220225","FXType":"FXCR","UnderlyingAssetType":"Forward-Forward Swap","NotionalCurrency":"KRW","ExpiryDate":"2022-02-25","OtherNotionalCurrency":"USD"},"Attributes":{"InstrumentISINNearLeg":"EZFD8NQ1W1M4","InstrumentISINFarLeg":"EZ4T1DPKV3S3","DeliveryType":"PHYS","PriceMultiplier":1}}

Hello @KaiLarsen,

As the .json files you are reading are encoded in UTF-8, you'll need to set your Code Page setting in the Input Data tool appropriately. This should get you moving!

Since your input is being read as JSON directly, you likely won't need the JSON Parse tool (if you were reading your .json file in as a raw text file, this is when you would need something like that). Once you've got the data in you can begin to manipulate it. I found a good post that illustrates how to take the data and convert it into a more tabular format with an example if you're interested as well!
