Analysis Flow stuck

Your Analysis Flow job isn't completing? Here's what to check.

Give it time​

Complex analyses on large files can take several minutes. Before troubleshooting:

  1. Wait at least 5-10 minutes
  2. Check if the progress indicator is still moving
  3. Look for partial results in completed steps

Common issues​

Large files​

Very large Excel files take longer to process.

Solutions:

  • Reduce file size (remove unnecessary columns/rows)
  • Split into smaller datasets
  • Process only the data you need

Complex analysis​

Analyses with many calculations or comparisons take longer.

Try:

  • Simplify your analysis prompt
  • Break into multiple smaller analyses
  • Process fewer files at once

Concurrent job limit​

You can run up to 3 analyses simultaneously.

If you hit the limit:

  • Wait for current jobs to complete
  • Cancel jobs you don't need
  • Queue requests for later

Checking for errors​

  1. Open the Analysis Flow job
  2. Look at individual steps
  3. Click any step showing an error
  4. Read the error message for details

Common error types​

ErrorMeaning
TimeoutAnalysis took too long
MemoryFile too large to process
FormatUnexpected data format
Missing dataRequired columns not found

Recovery options​

Retry the analysis​

  1. Cancel the stuck job
  2. Create a new analysis
  3. Use the same (or simplified) prompt

Try a smaller dataset​

  1. Filter your Excel to fewer rows
  2. Remove columns you don't need
  3. Re-upload and try again

Contact support​

If analyses consistently fail:

  1. Note the job ID
  2. Save your analysis prompt
  3. Contact support with details
Testing large analyses

For complex analyses, start with a small sample (100-1000 rows) to verify the approach works, then scale up to the full dataset.
