Featured Ideas
Hello,
After used the new "Image Recognition Tool" a few days, I think you could improve it :
> by adding the dimensional constraints in front of each of the pre-trained models,
> by adding a true tool to divide the training data correctly (in order to have an equivalent number of images for each of the labels)
> at least, allow the tool to use black & white images (I wanted to test it on the MNIST, but the tool tells me that it necessarily needs RGB images) ?
Question : do you in the future allow the user to choose between CPU or GPU usage ?
In any case, thank you again for this new tool, it is certainly perfectible, but very simple to use, and I sincerely think that it will allow a greater number of people to understand the many use cases made possible thanks to image recognition.
Thank you again

Hi everyone! I have been trying to find a way to do this without creating a new idea, but I have decided to make it an official 'Idea' to see if there is anyone else that might appreciate a feature like this (or has found there own way to do it!)
Do your workflows look like this...
but you wish they could look like this?
Well... they can with your help!
Okay, I might be crazy...but its worth a shot.
While I understand this is an extremely niche issue, in my experience, it can become very difficult to trace the data through unmanaged lines in large workflows. I think it will be great to cable manage canvas lines so workflows are easier to follow. Heck, while I am already at it, I think it we should all start calling these canvas lines cables... They don't carry electricity, but they sure do carry data!
Here is an example I created in Alteryx using select tools and containers:
The idea is to have a Run option, where the workflow runs everything up to the selected tool (Like the Cache functionality does).
You select the tool, hit Run Up and the workflows executes everything "before" the selected tool.
That'll make developing much easier, specially when dealing with big workflows and constant changing data.
Hello --
Many times, I want to summarize data by grouping it, but to really reduce the number of rows, some data needs to be concatenated.
The problem is that some data that is group is repeated and concatenating the data will double, triple, or give a large field of concatenated data.
As an example:
Name State
A | New York |
A | New York |
A | New Jersey |
B | Florida |
B | Florida |
B | Florida |
The above, if we concatenate by State would look like:
A | New York, New York, New Jersey |
B | Florida, Florida, Florida |
What I propose is a new option called Concatenate Unique so I would get:
A | New York, New Jersey |
B | Florida |
This would prevent us from having to use a Regex formula to make the column unique.
Thanks,
Seth
Lots of use cases involve concatenating some values based on group by clauses within the Summarize tool.
It will be great to have the option to Concatenate Unique as an aggregation method, so the results will have just one appearance for each value in the results.
Plus, having the option to get the chance to have them sorted or not will be awesome.
Hello,
We use the pre-sql statement of the input to set some parameters of connections. Sadly, we cannot do that in a in-db workflow. This would be a total game-changing feature for us.

It would be ever so helpful and save a couple extra steps if a count distinct option could be added to the crosstab tool. Seems like a slam dunk since plain ole 'count' is already a choice.
Please add official support for newer versions of Microsoft SQL Server and the related drivers.
According to the data sources article for Microsoft SQL Server (https://help.alteryx.com/current/DataSources/SQLServer.htm), and validation via a support ticket, only the following products have been tested and validated with Alteryx Designer/Server:
Microsoft SQL Server
Validated On: 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2016.
- No R versions are mentioned (2008 R2, for instance)
- SQL Server 2017, which was released in October of 2017, is notably missing from the list.
- SQL Server 2019, while fairly new (~6 months old), is also missing
This is one of the most popular data sources, and the lack of support for newer versions (especially a 2+ year old product like Sql Server 2017) is hard to fathom.
ODBC Driver for SQL Server/SQL Server Native Client
Validated on ODBC Driver: 11, 13, 13.1
Validated on SQL Server Native Client: 10,11
- ODBC Driver 17+ is not mentioned, even though it was released in February of 2018. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/odbc/windows/release-notes-odbc-sql-server-windows?view...
- SQL Server Native Client is deprecated. It is being replaced by Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server. However, there is not a mention of Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server. The latest version of this is 18.3.0. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/oledb/release-notes-for-oledb-driver-for-sql-server?vie...
We have 'CountDistinct' and 'Concatenate' options within Summarize tool.
But 'Concatenate' displays all the instances of value for a Grouped field, this might include lot of duplicates.
It would be great to have an option like 'ConcatDistinct'.
For example -
Group by 'Branch' and 'ConcatDistinct' Customer should result as Figure 1 instead of Figure 2 -
Figure 1-
Figure 2-
While this is achievable in different ways currently with a set of tools, but it gets tedious when number of fields is large from which distinct values are to be captured.
Thank you,
Rohan.
Where it stands now, only a file input tool can be used to pull data from Google BigQuery tables. The issue here is that the data is streamed and processed locally, meaning the power of BigQuery processing isn't actually being leveraged.
Adding BigQuery In-Database as a connection option would appeal to a wide audience. BigQuery is also standard SQL compliant with the SQL 2011 standard, so this may make for an even easier integration.
Hi Alteryx User and Alteryx Dev team,
I saw there are number of posts from the community asking for solution to calculate the NetWorkDays (e.g. similar to the networkdays in excel which to calculate the number of days different between the two days excluding weekend and holidays.)
Although we could build a macro for it, the performance is not ideal, especially when the data set is huge and/or the date range required is far apart from each other because there is currently NO a build-in function in Alteryx. Alteryx will have to expand the date range by date and check whether each is a weekend or holiday. It will an excellent idea if a build-in function for Networkdays could be built to minimize this hassle from everyone around the world.
We are looking forward this idea could be take forward.
Thanks
Eric
This functionality would allow the user to select (through a highlight box, or ctrl+click), only the tools in a workflow they would want to run, and the tools that are not selected would be skipped. The idea is similar to the new "add selected tools to a new tool container", but it would run them instead.
I know the conventional wisdom it to either put everything you don't want run into a tool container and disable it, or to just copy/paste the tools you want run into a blank workflow. However, for very large workflows, it is very time consuming to disable a dozen or more containers, only to re-enable them shortly afterwards, especially if those containers have to be created to isolate the tools that need to be run. Overall, this would be a quality of life improvement that could save the user some time, especially with large or cumbersome workflows.
While challenge 41 was fun to calculate weekdays between 2 dates, there should be a formula similar to networkdays in excel to do the same function
Please add support for windows authentication to the download tool. I know there's a workaround but that involves using curl and the run command tool. The run command tool is awful and should be avoided at all costs, so please improve the download tool so I can use internal APIs.
Would it be possible to update the SalesForce input tool to support API version 49 or later.
Changes were made to the way recurring events are handled in the SalesForce lightning update and the current salesforce input connector does not include all events when extracting.
It would be nice to have Directory tool working for ftp. I would like to have the list of files on a ftp server including sub folders
Hello all,
Here is a very, very simple idea :
just having the right to put a minimum length to Text Pre-processing
Why ? A lot of words (especially in French) with 1 or 2 characters does not change the meaning, the sentiment: la, le, Ã , un, une, etc... In English : in, the, etc..
Best regards,
Simon
