Enable/ Disable Containers through List Box with multiple manually entered values.

Hi, 

 

I am trying to enable/disable containers through manually entered values in the list box. However on testing in debug mode, all the containers either remains open or closed irrespective of formula added in the action tool or values selected in from the list box. 

 

What I am looking for is to enable container if the values are selected in the list box and vice-versa. Looks like I am doing some silly mistakes. Can anyone help me resolve this issue? 

 

Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi @Kurohits I would recommend the Condtion Interface tool whenever you want to enable or disable tool containers. I have mocked up an approach to demonstrate this.

Also the List box tool will output the selections all in one string saying if they are true or false based on the user selection e.g. " Schema_Check=True, Record_Count_Check=True, Data_Type_Check=True" so any formulas in the action tool or condtion tool needs to take account of this.

@JosephSerpis  Awesome. That's what I was looking for. Thanks for your help :)

@JosephSerpis  Sorry to bother you again. I need one more help in building something like below in Alteryx. 

 

I am looking to create an interface where an user can select options from the connected data to group by and sum fields. I want an user to select dimensions from data and then group by data using summarize tool then select action type such as "SUM", "Average". Is it possible to achieve this in Alteryx? 

 

Can you please help me with this?

This is exactly what i'm looking for. However, i'm getting an error when trying to replicate what you did. The action tool will not connect to a container. Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.  I tried to mimic exactly what you did. Also changed the condition tool between "generate custom list" and "select tool mode" - neither made any changes.
