Expose Blob Convert tool functionality as a Formula

Posting this idea after searching the community postings and then submitting a question to confirm:

 

https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Discussions/Function-to-convert-to-from-HEX-encode...

 

I could invest the time into creating a macro to do what I need, or per @MichaelF suggestion a custom formula. However, the functionality already exists in the Blob Convert tool, so I'm suggesting that Alteryx provides that existing functionality to customers in a Formula.

 

I checked the Conversion formulas:

And found other users talking about making a macro to do this:

Could Alteryx add a new Conversion formula to convert a field to/from HEX/Base64 formats similar to the current Code Page conversion functions?

 

Thanks,

 

Cameron
