Company datasets/databases

Hello,

 

Are there any free company datasets that we can connect via Alteryx? I remember seeing something like that in a demo or a tutorial, but can't be really sure where although I do remember it was Alteryx. These are the databases keep data like company name, address, postcode etc. (things like D&B)

 

Does it ring a bell?

Much appreciate your feedback.

Hello @isokando ,

 

On the designer menu, on help, you will see there sample datasets,

 

you can also check on the internet to see what is available, https://www.census.gov/data/datasets.html or kaggle.com are good examples for available datasets too.

Thank you. Not sure I was able to explore Cencus data effectively. The dataset I recall had company names, addresses etc. Sounds familiar?

There are licences available for third party datasets such as D&B like you mention. 
https://www.alteryx.com/products/alteryx-platform/alteryx-datasets 

These are paid for datasets, which I suggest speaking to your Alteryx account rep about.

 

if it is just to have data to practice with, then things like Kaggle would be good for getting free data.
