Big Data Files

[BlueJean]

In my first DS project. Newbie for sure.

I have two datasets with over a million points each. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to convert or compress those .csv files so that they run more smoothly in Python? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Hello, @BlueJean.

Are you reading the files into Alteryx? Is it slow? If so, have you tried caching the Input Data tools? This will convert those to a temporary yxdb so the workflow run time will be significantly reduced.

Attached are a few other suggestions related to Python.
