Submission GuidelinesI was just thinking how nice it would be to have an IfError function like there is in Excel. With Alteryx's design, there isn't really much need for the function. I just ran into a case today where I thought it might be useful. There was a function created after a crosstab that expected certain field names to exist. I got around this by using filter, summarize, and join tools instead.
It just stuck with me that it would be much easier to just say:
IfError([FieldThatDoesNotExist],0)
Something like this could also be used when referencing a field which has a calculation that produces an error.
I don't know if something like this would be completely antithetical to Alteryx's design, but there are times when it would definitely be convenient.
