Dear Members,

 

I want to understand how "Comes Before" or "Comes After" work in Alteryx ?

[sub-category is a string] - no? string inequalities are measured like "a"<"b" so it's saying whatever value there has a lower string value than "chairs" - say "chai" or "chair" so anything up to say "chairt" based upon summoning up the letters as values.
