Reiterating what others have said..

Helps me tap into our main data warehouse without needing IT support (and maintenance). 

Helps Alteryx be more relevant to 10x as many users in the company.

Seems like a win-win to me!

Does this need to be under review for much longer?

In our business Power BI can pull in data from multiple sources and we spend so much time building tables, custom columns, etc our big issue is pulling the data back out for other reporting/calculating purposes.  We don't necessarily need Alteryx to re-ingest the raw data.  Power BI has done that.  We need to look at the data in another format where Alteryx will shine.

I would like to use a dataflow which is built to be used in Power bi, as input for my Alteryx input. Is there a solution?

This tool would most definitely bring value to me and my colleagues. 

 

1. It would shorten my data process by going directly to a source via Alteryx. Currently, I have to leverage Power Automate to dump the file to a network share drive to then have Alteryx pull from that DataSource.

 

2. Being that the data within a PowerBI dataset has already been curated and vetted it would be much easier to acquire access to these dataset than the actual productions dataset.

 

3. Being able to leverage Alteryx allows us to utilize the Alteryx data tools to aggregate data than using extensive DAX formulas.

 

Best,
