Alteryx Python SDK | Read data from excel with UI Processing

sophabraham95
7 - Meteor

Hi Everyone,

 

Am relatively new to the Alteryx Python SDK.

 

Currently, I've been able to:

1. take inputs from the UI 

2. send it to the Backend (python)

3. Process in Backend

4. Display processed data as an output table

 

I would like to take this one step further and accomplish the following:

 

1. Take Input data from an excel file

2. Do some processing in the UI (eg: filter and format the data)

3. Display a drop-down on UI based on this processed input data

4. send the selection to the Backend (python)

5. Process in Backend

6. Display processed data as an output table

 

I have created a 1-input and 1-output anchor custom tool.

But am not sure how to proceed.

 

Kindly help provides some documentation or sample tool for the same.

Thank you all!
