Using data from one input in an unconnected workflow

marksyoung73

Hi,

In the below image, is there a way I can use the field data from my second input in the filter in my first workflow?

I only started using Alteryx a couple of days ago, so it's all pretty new.

Thank you in advance

Would a simple Join tool do the trick?

Hi @marksyoung73 ,

I would recommend the Parallel Block Until Done macro. This will allow you to complete the first part of your workflow and use the output as an input. See attached. You can also download the full set of Crew Macros here:

Thanks,

Mike

Ideally, if there is a formula available I would prefer that (almost like a DBRef?). If I used a join I didn't know if I could do a "less than" in my filter with this input?

thanks
