Any way to run iterative macro multiple times in the macro designer?

Hey all, I'm working on an iterative macro and I'm running into some issues with how it's handling the data. I was wondering if there was a way to run multiple iterations of the macro in the editor without having to go outside of the editor? I just need to see how it handles 2 or 3 rows in a step-by-step process instead of just the one row I can see when I normally run it in the editor.

 

Is this possible? 

 

Thanks!

Hey @WConnolly, unfortunately there isn't at present. Whenever I do this personally, I do one run, take the output and paste it into the input and then re-run as if it were the 2nd iteration and so on. This is super long-winded and very frustrating which is why I'd urge you to show some support to @IraWatt's Idea here: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Desktop-Ideas/Run-iterative-macros-for-a-given-num... - which addresses this exact issue!

It is a real hassle currently. Thanks for the support for the idea, the more support we get the more likely it is to be updated 😄
