Hi Maveryx,
A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.

You and your friends enjoy high-energy songs. Since your friends know you are skilled at using Alteryx, they have asked you to create a 60-minute playlist using the Optimization tool. This playlist should contain the most popular and energetic songs, each included only once.
Each record in the provided dataset contains the variable (song ID), song name, popularity, level of energy (ranging from 0 to 1, with 0 being less energetic and 1 being more energetic), and song duration. Additionally, you are given the formatted for the B anchor of the Optimization tool. This represents the maximum duration of 3600 seconds, or 60 minutes (rhs).
Your task is to create a maximum 60-minute playlist that maximizes song popularity from the top 100 high-energy songs. Each song should only be included once. Additionally, output the total popularity value of (Objective ).
Summary of Data:
You are provided with a file containing a song popularity dataset with energy values for each song and its duration. Additionally, you are given the formatted input for the B anchor or the Optimization tool.
Hints:
- Ensure you select Maximize Objective in the Optimization tool settings and spend most of your time structuring the data for the Specify the Model as Matrices option. You will not need to change any other settings in the tool (other than Maximize Objective).
- Field names matter! Check out this article, which features data format.
song_popularity = coefficient
lb and ub values are a binary datatype of 0,1
