Alteryx and Boolean

[Carluccio555]

I have tried 2 approaches to get Alteryx to treat a Field as boolean:

1) Data is either 'TRUE' or 'FALSE' and I use a SELECT tool to set datatype as Boolean

2) Data is either 0 or 1 and I use SELECT tool to set datatype as Boolean

Expressions don't seem to work consistently however.

Can someone explain best practice to get the data to be recognized as Boolean and some simple IIF() expressions to resolve a true or false?

Hi @Carluccio555 

The boolean values are displayed as True/False, but when you deal with then using formulas, you will need to always use 1 for True and 0 for False. Dont use 'True' or 'False' inside your formulas.

this saved me , thanks man.

the '=1' part of this is just redundant. if you have a boolean field you can have it standalone as the boolean field so

[field1]=True

iif([field1],'True','false')

is sufficient.
