Summarize tool ignornig the actions selected and processes all fields instead

Hello, 

 

I am working on a project which requires me to summarize donation amounts (Donation 2, I tried renaming it in the Select Tool, but it refuses to change) grouping by Donation Type (Donations 1) and Account Type. I have all the actions I'd want to be selected in the action bar, but the summarize tool ignores the commands and processes all the unselected fields instead. 

 

I have attached a screenshot of my project to avoid confusion by how I described the situation. I am new to using the software and greatly appreciate any help I can get. TIAAlteryx Screenshot.PNG

I think this is rather odd.
Can you share part of your workflow so we can try to replicate the issue?

 Hi, it looks like you have selected the input data stream of the summarize tool and not the output. I.e. you can see the green highlight is on the input icon. Try changing it to the output icon below and see if that works?

That was it! I appreciate your help. I can't believe it's something that simple, fp.
