How to search for a value in a column, and then export the whole row into a new excel

Hi, 

 

I have just combined 12 months of multiple customers data into one file, of which I now want to randomly select a sample of customers from, and get a report of all of the rows in the (12 month file) which relate to them.

 

Essentially, I want to import a document that has 16 randomly selected customer ID's, compare those against my large 12 month data set, and output all of the rows of data into a new file - filtering by the 'customer ID' column - of which will allow me to see just the 12 months of activity for the sampled customers. 

 

Is there a way of doing this in Alteryx? I have tried in excel but the data set is too large and I am unable to sort it! 

 

Thanks!

All you need to do is use the Join Tool to connect the two datasets together on Customer ID. Use the 'J' output anchor for desired data output.

 

Happy Solving!
