[Error] App not updating value with Check Box tool

Joker_Hazard

Hello.

I am having trouble to update the filter tool with what the user set.

Basically what I need is that IF the user decides to check with a "tick", THEN the it will continue the process and JOIN both lines.

IF the check box is unchecked, THEN the workflow SHOULD NOT continue, therefore there would be no JOIN.

I am struggling a lot with this... Any ideas guys?

Thanks in advance!

The issue is with regard to the action tool. You need to have it configured to update the operand value. In addition, the check box will produce a value or true or false. 

 

You can use a conditional statement to adjust the values to yes or no.

Hello Echuong1! Thanks for the quick reply.

The workflow ran, but it seens that this is not updating the filter with the answer. 

What should I do in the filter tool? 

Also, I tried with this formula [#1] because [#2]  says that it is not known!

Hi @Joker_Hazard 

 

Here is how you set up the check box to do this logic:

 

Select what you need to update, so in this case is the filter and then write the function out with the results in Portuguese.

 

if [#1] = 'True' then 'Sim' else 'Não' endif

Hello @Joker_Hazard ,

 

I came up with this solution which doesn't need the extra variable.

 

Let me know if you have any doubuts.

Afv, why does my alteryx not have your config options? It seens that I have way more options that you!

Hello @Joker_Hazard ,

 

The config options shown depend on what you select on the tool. Since I am doing a selection with the custom filter (rather than the basic one), a lower amount of selection values will appear.

Hey Pedro, thanks for the reply!.

As I said to AFV, my filter options are invalid I think. There is no option of "expression value = [Validaçao] = "Yes"". Do u know why?
