You cannot connect your tool from whence it came. That's known as a circular reference in Excel - and in Alteryx, it's known as a Loop in connection.

@caltang hii, my question was that how do I re arrange this loop so that I would stop receiving this error.

For better help... can you export the workflow next time?

 

To export a workflow go to: Options > Export Workflow. Kindly do NOT send a "Save As" copy.

So, sorry. I exported the workflow for it to be seen clearly. Thanks.

And also, the red marks you put on the screen I understand that that is what am supposed to do. But I cant seem to connect more than two functions at the same time. How do I arrange it in the correct order, like it is seen with the red marks. Thanks
