Hi, Apologies as I am relatively new to Alteryx, but I was wondering how you would best use Alteryx to work out the penetration of certain values for a given variable. For example, if I have sorted and concatenated the data to look similar to: Basket 1Apples,Oranges,Bananas,Soap,ToothpasteBasket 2Bananas,Soap,Lettuce,ChocolateBasket 3Apples,Alcohol,Toothpaste Basket 4Apples,Hat,Oranges,Soap What would be the best way of organising a workflow to then work out the Basket Penetration of each item? So ending up with like: ProductApplesOrangesBananasSoapToothpasteLettuceChocolateHatTotal Occurrence32232111% Penetration75%50%50%75%50%25%25%25% Thanks, Oli

Penetration percentage

Hi,

Apologies as I am relatively new to Alteryx, but I was wondering how you would best use Alteryx to work out the penetration of certain values for a given variable.

For example, if I have sorted and concatenated the data to look similar to:

Basket 1	Apples,Oranges,Bananas,Soap,Toothpaste
Basket 2	Bananas,Soap,Lettuce,Chocolate
Basket 3	Apples,Alcohol,Toothpaste
Basket 4	Apples,Hat,Oranges,Soap

What would be the best way of organising a workflow to then work out the Basket Penetration of each item?

So ending up with like:

Product	Apples	Oranges	Bananas	Soap	Toothpaste	Lettuce	Chocolate	Hat
Total Occurrence	3	2	2	3	2	1	1	1
% Penetration	75%	50%	50%	75%	50%	25%	25%	25%

Thanks,

Oli

Here's a bit of a long winded way to achieve the desired output that works through each calculation step.

@obridgeman Still would need a bit of formatting and it's a little messy, but it would get you there. Wanting the table horizontally is what takes the most effort here.

Here is the sample workflow for your case. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you all for the quick replies!!

This ended up being the solution that worked the best for the data I had.

I had to split the string up and unique it in order to get the accurate penetration (multiple of the same items in the same basket) but got there in the end!

Definitely learned a bit more from this so thanks again!
