Hey Guys, I am trying to create an extract of a CSV file. I keep getting the following error

 

Tableau Data Engine Eerror: 4: string too long

Unable to create extract

Tableau Data Engine Error $: string too long

 

Has any one came across this in the past, and how did ya resolve the issue?

 

Thank you

    how long is your longest string?  I ran into this issue a few months ago and I want to say the max length that an extract can handle for a string is 2048, but don't quote me on this.

0/9000
