It really would be great if Alteryx supports the 'set' data type.

 

I often have situations where I really wish I could make a field with a data type of "set".

For example, I have a table of pets owned by each person.

The "Pets" Field would be perfect if it could be processed as a "set" type.

 

PersonPets
JohnDog, Cat
SusanFish

 

(I sort the pet values in alphabetical order, and concatenate the string values using the summarize tool. This is the best I could think of)

Hi Team,

 

I have an idea where we can use Alteryx to build a virtual Assistant. As we are currently using Intelligent suite extract information through pdfs. Now we can connect the VA and Intelligent suite to offer a complete product.

 

Please let us know your views,

Hello,

 

My idea is that the current Download tool does not handle errors and continues its path even if it does not find for example a file in the transmitted URL or if it does not find the hostname it crashes.

 

In the case of a user with several URLs in a row, this is penalizing.


In the case of downloading files with recording, it still writes a file (thus overwriting the existing file) but which is not openable and is not in the correct format. (BLOCKED file!) Which then causes problems in workflows reading these files.

 

The idea would be to put a second output to this tool for all the URLs where there was a problem (non-existent hostname, file not found, HTTP KO) and one where it received the expected elements so as not to prejudice the processing. and allow better management of error cases.

 

Regards,

Bruno
