Forecast anomaly

Help..fairly new here. I'm using Alteryx for forecast using prior years data. I have an anomaly last year and I do not want to include that as part of my growth rate?

What's the best way to exclude that?

If you are using Time Series, you'll have to have a consistent interval of dates so you could replace that anomaly with maybe an estimate from the year before so there's a reasonable value in place!

We're not using Time Series. Formulas. I've inherited the workflow. I'll try what you suggested. Thank you

Without knowing the current logic it will be hard to make further suggestions. If you could provide the workflow (Options --> Export Workflow), then we could help further!
