Replace, ReplaceFirst, ReplaceChar and Regex_Replace in the cloud all have a limitation where arguments must be constants. Any attempt to use a column returns an error. This would a nice enhancement to have parity with Desktop. The below functions currently error out in cloud but work in desktop.
Replace(Column1,Column2, Column3)
Regex_Replace(Column1,Column2,Column3)
Could doesn't like that Column2 and Column3 are references to fields. It only works if you hardcode a string like "text". Desktop doesn't have this limitation.
Currently in Alteryx Cloud we cannot create groups of users.
Having groups of users means that sharing of content would be much more manageable (currently if I want to share a workflow I need to share it with users individually).
The ability to create groups of users and share content with them would be:

Hello all,
One of the great things of Alteryx Designer on-premise is that we can do a huge quantity of diverse tasks in the same canvas :
-classic data preparation
-in-database
-report
-machine learning
-spatial/geographic analysis,
-building apps and macros,
-etc, etc
And frankly, the feeling I have after testing the different cloud applications is that there are way too many silos between app, not real integration... it seems more like a patchwork than a real homogeneous platform.
Personnally, and I think it's true for any historical Alteryx user, I would have far preferred exactly the same experience that we have in Designer, being able to seamlessy going to cloud or to on-premise, etc and then, some improvements with the other module.
(And since I do love Alteryx, I must say I'm waaaay disappoited. probably as much that when I saw the first release of Qlik Sense in 2015)
Best regards,

Hello all,
Only one file format is supported by AutoML : csv. And we can't even choose the separator (not the same in the US and France).

Hello folks,
let's say it's my second greatest deception so far! Alteryx on-premise is not perfect but it supports a lot of file format... and here, three file formats only, and three that are not performant or rich : xls, xlsx, csv
I won't make an idea by missing file format but the bare minimum seems at least to support the same file formats than on-premise (like yxdb, hyper, parquet,kml, etc...)

Hello,
On Alteryx Designer on-premise, we can set background and text color (and other settings...). It's very useful because it allows to have a color palette by functional or technical feature of the container.
And as an example of the popularity of this color feature, this post on linkedin :

Hello all,
I would like to move the Tool Configuration to the left instead of the default right (and save this configuration for me). 2 reasons for that :
1/ same experience than Designer on-premise
2/ less distance to do with the mouse
(also, if the tool palette could be movable upside.... would be great)

Hello all,
On Alteryx Designer, you have a star (asterik) after the workflow name when it's not saved. Would be nice to have the same feature in Cloud, that's an easy, standard way to get the information.

Hello,
I love standards and ctrl+S is a pretty common on for the last four decades. Can we expect it to work also on Alteryx Designer Cloud please ? Even if it's in the browser, it seems possible since the guys at Dataiku managed to do it.

Hello,
Correct me if I'm wrong but we can't export or import a workflow. That sounds a very easy and very useful function, especially when you develop something and want to share with others users.
Best regards,
Simon
