I have a dataset of variance values and a materiality table that defines different ranges. Previously, I used the Generate Rows tool to categorize these variances, but it significantly slows down the workflow when dealing with large datasets. Here is an example of my data and materiality table:
Variance |
- 755.99 |
164.03 |
- 7,286.96 |
0.01 |
0.01 |
- 192.70 |
- 830.99 |
- 14.98 |
1,198.02 |
2,755.24 |
0.01 |
- 464.00 |
- 111,720.73 |
- 0.00 |
- 438.36 |
materiality table
Min | Max | materiality |
0 | 101880 | Below CT |
101881 | 1731963 | Above CT |
1731964 | Above PM |
I want to categorize each variance into "Below CT", "Above CT", or "Above PM" based on the ranges defined in the materiality table. My goal is to achieve this dynamically so that changes to the materiality ranges do not require me to manually update formulas.
WHAT CHATGPT suggested me to do (But I don't know about these Macro workflows) Can anyone help me to do this.
To create a batch macro in Alteryx that dynamically categorizes variance values based on a materiality table, you can follow these detailed steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Data
Input Variance Data:
Input Materiality Table:
Example Materiality Table:
Step 2: Create the Batch Macro
Open Alteryx Designer:
Add Input Data:
Add Control Parameter:
Formula Tool:
Add a Formula tool to categorize the variances based on the control parameter values.
