Treasure Chest.gif

@LeahK,

This post has a treasure chest full of great suggestions.  It would be a good place to hide an Easter Egg!  Many folks look forward to Monday's so that they can attempt the weekly challenge when it is fresh off of the presses.  While some users only come to the Community when they have a question to be answered, I like to see what I can learn on a daily basis.  I've been using Alteryx for 13 years and find new things on a regular basis.  It is interesting to read and to listen to users around the world interact here in the community.  New User questions are very important to the community.  It is the first step towards engagement and it helps those less brave when they find comfort from seeing a question answered before they ask it.  Your question will likely help many that follow you.  One last tip that I might add to your welcome is to share the Love and give away LIKES.  

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

If you are looking for an Easter Egg spoiler here, while I congratulate your investigation skills I believe that you haven't listened thoroughly yet.

HI guys,

Great to be here!

I appeared for the alteryx core certification exam and unfortunately did not clear it.On receiving performance report I ended up scoring low in Input , Output and practical application sections, rest all were par score.

It would be a great help if any one can suggest resources for the above mentioned topics.

 

Thanks,

Hello @Pratik_61294

 

Everything within the Core exam can be found between the tool examples within Alteryx, as well as the Help Doc pages.
If Input has been an area of improvement, I would also recommend checking out the Tool Mastery here on the Community.

 

Dont be discouraged! Its not uncommon to not pass the first attempt exam, It took me 3 attempts to finally pass (CrossTab and Transpose are still foreign to me)

 

I hope this helps!

Hello everyone,

I am an Accounting student at CSU Fullerton, and I currently work full-time as an Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Accountant for an Adult Day Care company. I am learning how to use Alteryx, and I want to apply this skill to my daily job. Is anyone here using Alteryx at work? if so, I would appreciate it if you can show me how can I apply this to my current position. 

 

Thank you.

Hello,

We just started learning Alteryx for class and I’m so excited to learn more and reap all the benefits that will come with it after becoming proficient with the program. I’ve started doing some interactive learning because it was required for class but I’ve also started doing the Getting Started Learning Path and have been enjoying it so far. I’ll definitely have this post bookmarked so that I can refer to this when I need it to continue my learning journey.

 

Thanks!

Hi, 
I've just signed in to the Community and making most of my time learning the capabilities and features Alteryx has to offer. This is a great tool to upskill and get workflows done with a relatively easy work. The Community seems to be an excellent go-to site to get when stuck on something.
