As per formula tool is any field is missing it shows the error in one time in Result bar but in summarize tool it has to run each time so that it can show one by one all the missing fields, can it be resolved in one single run

What are you trying to achieve? You post is not providing too much explanation. The might be several different way, but will be nice to get more data

My interpretation:

  • The Select tool will show all missing fields, so the developer has knowledge about all fields that may need attention
  • The Summarize tool will only display the name of the First missing field it encounters. If there are several missing fields, the developer needs to fix one error at a time, then Summarize will display the next missing field.
  • Is there an option to know ALL missing fields in a Summarize tool?

 

Short answer: No, the Summarize tool will not display all missing fields, like some of the other tools do.

 

Suggestion 1: create an Idea, to ask the Alteryx development team to enhance the Summarize tool, to highlight all Missing Fields that are used in the Summarize.   Alteryx Designer Desktop Ideas - Alteryx Community

 

Suggestion 2: Find all Missing Fields using a manual visual comparison

  • In the Summarize tool configuration: Compare the field list in the bottom half of the configuration to the list of fields in the top half
  • any field listed in the bottom half (blue section in screenshot below), but not listed in the top half (yellow section in screenshot) .... is a Missing Field
