My browse tool is not working?

Hello,

I am new to Alteryx and I have come across an error with my browse tool.

When I connect the browse tool to any other tool within my workflow and run the workflow, when I then select on the 'browse' tool to analyse the data, within the configuration section, it says "View data table in the Results window". Therefore, I am unable to analyse the data.

Has this happened to anyone before and does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello @KLister, you need to go to Options > User Settings > Edit User Settings and enable Collect and Display Data Profile Information setting found under either General or Workflows section. After enabling this setting, run the workflow again and you should see that the Browse tool now displays the data profile results.

Do you have the Results window displayed, using the menu option View > Results?

Or maybe the window is shown but fully collapsed, appearing hidden?

Hi Chris.

Yes I have the results window on display and I can see the data. I wanted to use the browse however to look into more detail at the dataset which I thought was supposed to appear within the configuration section.

In addition to the Data Profile option which works with the Browse tool, also check out the Field Summary and other tools under the Data Investigation group.
