I'm working on a workflow that requires the user to enter 3 different numbers that i will then use to calculate a few fields in my workflow. Is this possible in Alteryx and if so how?
thank you

hi @Hali3
This is very possible, you will need to look at an analytical app, and using the interface tools to create this front-facing UI for your users!

I'll build you a quick example
hi @Hali3
Here is an example analytic app. I have it outputting to a CSV so you can easily see the output, you may need to change the location of this.
I set up 3 numeric fields within the formula tool:
These are replaced with the values input from the numeric up/down (these can be configured if you need higher values than 0-100).
example output:
Hi @Hali3 - The above are the right solutions for you. I'd also would like to recommend you to review the following interactive lessons: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Interactive-Lessons/tkb-p/interactive-lessons/label-name/Creating%2...
The file give me an error when i try to import it. I tried adding the Action tool to my workflow and I'm having trouble configuring it. Ultimately, I want to be able to have it that it will do a number of calculations, then ask the user for a number in the middle of the workflow and then use that number to continue the calculations.
1. How do I get Alteryx to ask users to input a number?
2. How do I get the Question to pop up when the user hits run?
hi @Hali3
requiring user input is something that the analytic app is perfect for.
What error do you receive when trying to import my workflow?
The error below is what I'm receiving when i try to open the file you gave me. To the right of the error is what i managed to create with the input box. But its not prompting me to enter an number
hi @Hali3
If you click "OK" when opening the workflow, and align the file location to the correct location, what does the workflow look like? does it run?
