Analytic App to Maintain Zip Code List for Offices

Hello Alteryx Gurus,

 

I am attempting to rebuild a workflow that I can hand off to the marketing department so they can maintain this list themselves.

 

Process flow I am envisioning:

Input File (csv, excel) >> dropdown to select office >> add new zip codes OR mark in-active >> overwrite existing worksheet.

 

I am currently having trouble with the dropdown populating with a distinct list of offices to choose from.

 

Example input data (1 office; there are actually 30):

Office

Zip Code

 
Arlington98798 
Arlington65465 
Arlington65484 
Arlington54865 
Arlington54984 
Arlington54684 

 

Eventually, I'd like to be able to add new offices as well but if I can get the above done it would be tremendously helpful.

Hi @chudson

 

I think you will need to create a chained app.

 

The first app can read the full file and create the unique list of offices, the next app can then allow the selection and output to be updated.

 

We have a couple good links available for examples here and here

I figured there would be some good examples somewhere! Thanks for the links!

You're welcome!

They aren't exactly the same as what you require but hopefully you can implement the logic required. Reply back on here if you do get stuck at any point.
