Hello,
I'm brand new to Alteryx and have spent the last couple of hours going through the intro paint by numbers and trying to solve what I believe is a basic data prep use case. I'm not used to the tool and am having trouble googling as I'm not sure what I should be look at in the tool. I'll explain my use case and I would appreciate it if anyone could be kind enough to point me to some knowledge articles that would be relevant!
I have two data sets that contain two different activities a person performs. Each data set only have a record for the persons NAME if they've performed that activity. I need to pad the data so that each dataset has rows for every person and has a record for three types of activity they could perform (we'll call it A, B and C) and if that person didn't perform that activity yet, it'd be blank.
So if I have 3 people (Sarah, Mike, Tiffany):
Current Data:
| Person | Activity | Count |
| Sarah | A | 1 |
| Sarah | B | 1 |
| Sarah | C | 1 |
| Mike | A | 1 |
Desired Output:
| Person | Activity | Count |
| Sarah | A | 1 |
| Sarah | B | 1 |
| Sarah | C | 1 |
| Mike | A | 1 |
| Mike | B | 0 |
| Mike | C | 0 |
| Tiffany | A | 0 |
Tiffany | B | 0 |
Tiffany | C | 0 |
I saw on article mention a constant formula but that looked like it was only allowing me to insert one item. I then saw the "Generate Rows" icon but similarly couldn't figure out how it wanted the formula set up. I'm sure this is a very novice question but I appreciate any direction as I get my footing.
Thanks!
