shapefile import

I am working on spatial analysis and encounter a problem. 

Any Help would be appreciated. 

 

I have a zip shapefile, containing DBF, PRJ, SBN, SBX, SHP and SHX. 
Is there any way to open this shapefile with Alteryx? Or extract the GEO information from these files. 

Many Thanks.

Hi @BenChan,

 

Are you trying to open it without unzipping first?  If it is unzipped you can open it with an input tool as an esri shapefile format.

 

You can also open the zip file with an input tool.  It will prompt you for which file in archive you want to read.  You can select the .dbf first

Once you have it open within the input tool you can click the droptown for 'file in archive' and change it to the shp file, then change the dropdown for file format to esri shapefile

 

Thanks,
