Formatting Columsn

Hi, I want to format several columns in my alteryx output to "\@\" so that the outputs display with parenthesis around them.

Hi @Khristian_Evans do you want the column name to be in parenthesis or the values for the column in a record?

Hi @cpet13 , I would like column headings and values for column in parenthesis.

To get the value in parenthesis, you can use a formula tool with a formula like this:
"(" + [Field] + ")"

For the header, you can use a select tool and rename the column to be (Field).
