Preferred Alteryx Tools?

[lillianpchao]

Hello Alteryx Community Members,

I'm curious to know what tools are the favorites among the community. Are there any that you almost always use?

And on the flip side, are there any Alteryx tools you have found difficult to use?

Thanks,
Lillian

I'd say Transpose and Crosstab (the ways we pivot and unpivot data) was initially tricky for me, but now I use them all the time.

I think the Multi-Row tool is really powerful, can be tricky initially but it has a wide range of use!

The formula tool is one I use a lot.  RegEx expressions, adding values, converting dates, etc.

The Select tool is another.  I find it easier to use a Select to rename after a Sum than to individually rename in the Sum tool.

I have not spent enough time or energy on the predictive tools, so at this point they would be the difficult ones.
