Input excel with drop down list and print out

Question

Hi All,

I am currently facing an issue. There is an Excel file with a dropdown menu, and when different data is selected, other data in the worksheet changes accordingly.

My question is, in Alteryx, is there a way to generate a PDF file for each data selection in the dropdown menu? I am aware that this can be achieved with VBA. Is it possible to accomplish the same in Alteryx?

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @Johaon

Can you provide a sample excel file and point out the column in question and how the output data should look?

Thanks

Dan

Hi Johan, You can transform your goals to a a workflow in Alteryx.

In this case, you could create an Analytic app and select the date desired (or range date that you need) and after that the Analytics app is going to generate a pdf format.

I created an example that can be useful and support you in this scenario.
