hi all, the maximum number of rows read and displayed via the csv reader is around 33K, is there any way I can increase it to a significantly higher number? (millions of points)… I am trying to visualize a large dataset

Alternatively, i suggest you can split one file into many files and read them all, then use group filter to group them into one data set.

I’m quite sure there is no such limit. Can you share a problematic dataset ?
