Hi all, attached are 3 screen shots of a wfl i inherited. I was wondering if there's a way to simplify these formulas where there's an individual step to select a field and then append information to the data for each month of the year. If there's a way to do if then or case or anything to make it look less daunting, would greatly appreciate the help. Thanks.
here's the formula to append:
"04/25/" + ToString(DateTimeFormat(DateTimeAdd(DateTimeToday(),-1,"years"),"%y"))
formula
field selection
overview
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re-attached @Garrett response that can be opened in v10. That's definitely the best process. One of the beautiful things about Alteryx is being able to transform or re-shape your data easily to dynamically process that data. In this case, to be able to run the one formula over everything at once.
I included 2 other ways of creating the date field in the formula tool as well.
