Saved Formula Expressions

[dshaw]

Is there a way I can find my saved formula expressions from past Alteryx versions?  It seems as if each time I have updated versions of Alteryx my saved formula expressions has been lost.  I would like to retrieve the older ones and also not lose the ones going forward.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Derreck

Hi @dshaw,

Did you see this post ?   Can you let me know if you can find them in the registry?  I'll do some research as to why they may be disappearing.

Thanks!

Yes, that is where I found them!  So, for others benefit from the post you linked above:

"....maintained in the computer registry.

On my machine they are located in the registry at...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SRC\Alteryx\4.0\Exp "

Thank you so much!

For additional info:

Those who aren't familiar, you don't find your registry keys in the normal directory. You have to open windows tool called :  Registry Editor. 

Next, you follow the path as mentioned in the thread here.  When you get in your registry, and you find that all your formulas are there.

Look at the registry key/file called:  SaveNum.  LIKELY that it has somehow reset to "0".  If you open that file and you type in a number at least as large as the last key you have (in other words if you have 11 keys/formulas saved, then you want that number showing at least 11).  Then you're done. Your saved formulas will now display again over in Alteryx.
