Union Component with Input Sources Details

kpsrawat

Hi,

 

Can you share with me a simple workflow xml (.yxmd) where two input data sources (.csv) passed to a Union component directly which is giving a single output  (Input--> Union --> output) ?

 

And from the workflow xml we can identify that the Union component taking input from two input sources and giving a single output file. 

 

Thanks,

Kunwar

Hi @kpsrawat if you right click on the majority of tools an option of Open Example will appear. Which will open up a simple workflow for you.

Hi @JosephSerpis 

 

thanks for your response.

 

Unfortunately I don't have Alteryx setup on my laptop as I am not able to download setup due to policy & restriction applied on company asset.

 

That's why I am looking for this information
