Top Solved Discussions
Here are some of the top viewed solved discussion posts on Designer and Server from October:
- Round a number: @alexnajm solved a common Alteryx question—rounding a number and converting it to a percentage value. Check out this thread if you’d like the formula to do this!
- Configuration in Run Command Tools: @flying008 saved the day with code for the Run Command tool that fully automated the workflow, resolving an issue with a pop-up in the Windows cmd.exe interface. Nice work on solving this challenging question!
- Cannot Access Folder: Our server expert @fmvizcaino once again successfully resolved a Server error. If you’ve ever gotten the “Cannot access the folder…” error, check out this thread to understand the settings adjustment you need to make when publishing to your Alteryx Server.
