Dear all,
I'm trying to filter out the data based on the user selection (Drop down) , below is an example.
Input data
Could you please guide on how to configure the action tool. I have tried my best to find the solution but not able to succeed .
Overall, when an user select a month it should replace the current value with the user chosen value.
Please advice.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Seems straight forward.
Something that is probably causing the issue is that if you using the basic filter mode, then in the action tool you need to identify the placeholder to replace via the simple 'tree' as shown in the image below.
The 'Expression' part is only valid if you are using the custom filter mode.
I hope this resolves your issue.
Ben
Dear BenMoss,
Thanks a lot for your response. could you kindly build a sample alteryx flow so that i can download the flow and view the settings in action tool.
Thanks again. 🙂
Attaching a quick sample of the solution Ben described above. If using a basic filter then you'll just want to have the 'Operand - value =' line updated by the drop-down.
Thank you both 🙂
This is very helpful. I'm looking for a similar filter, but instead of a single choice drop down selection, a list of possible selections, where user may make multiple selections. Using the sample filter provided as an example, what if I was the user and wanted to select "Jan", "Feb", and "Mar"?
