Performing analytics and splitting columns (entities) in different tabs

Question

Hi all,

I am new to Alteryx. I need help in creating a analytic workflow for multiple subjects. Basically, I have one tab each for current year(CY) and prior year(PY) , (each tab has different subjects). I first need to combine CY and PY data, then have a variance ($) and variance (%) column for all subjects. My final output should be split into different tabs on the basis of subjects. I have attached a dummy input file and desired output. I would really appreciate all the help I could get. Please let me know how to achieve the output.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @SCK

Firstly, welcome to the community!

Secondly, this post seems to me like it's on the wrong board, I believe it should be on the Alteryx Designer board. For future posts please double check where you are posting as this would have been answered much quicker if it was in the appropriate pleace @KylieF, could you please move this for us?

And finally and most importantly, here's a solution to your question. Hopefully you can see what I have done in the workflow, but please feel free to ask if anything is unclear.

You will learn that with Alteryx there are often many different ways to do the same thing. An example here would be the way that I have read your sheets in. You can see that I have used two different input tools to do this, however if you wanted to do this more dynamically you could uses the wildcard input functionality. Search for this on the community and there will be lots of examples.

Please do let me know if this has helped.
