Scale Variable/matrix tool

[Ashish]

It will be nice to have a tool which can salce/standardize/Normalize a variable or set of variables to a selected range eg. (0 to 1) ( 0 to pi ) (-1 to 1) etc.. or user specified range.

Althoug its possilbe to do it using fomula tool which include creating new summary variables and several steps -  I think its worth to have it as a tool given the whole philosophy of alteryx is to keep it easy and quick.

FYI...macros for z-score and unit interval are already available...just "hidden" a bit...

They are what are used in the K-Centroids tools. 

In a default install, they are located in...

C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\Macros\Predictive Tools\Supporting_Macros

FYI: There is now a macro available on the public gallery that performs the MinMax-Scaling with options! See FeatureScaler on the gallery! Hope this helps...
