Advanced Suggestions Under Custom Filter Section

[Sunder_Sriram]

Often when we need to use the Filter tool and select the Custom filter option, it requires us to write conditions such as "IF", "OR" and so on.

Was hoping if some suggestions or hints could be embedded in the custom filter for those of us who have no experience even in basic coding.

Great idea @Sunder_Sriram - I believe the team are already working towards uplifting the formula capability across all the tools to match the capability in the Formula tool (so you get all the hints and help that you get in Formula)

@Sunder_Sriram Sean is correct. In the 2018.1 release (coming very soon!) we are releasing a new Filter tool, which will include an expression editor like we have in the Formula tool. I'll update this thread when the new version of Designer is available.

Hi @RachelW,

Is there a way for the users to vote on which tools they would like to see the HTML5 in first or are the updates being done on most used/easiest to covert?

[RachelW]

@andrewdatakim Good question! We're looking at feedback on Community and conversations with customers about which tools are difficult to use, along with most used/easiest to convert. Are there tools you'd like to see converted next?

We released a new version of Alteryx today that includes a new Filter tool, which has the new expression editor with autocomplete functionality. Check it out on our Downloads page.
