"set" Data Type in Alteryx

[JunePark]

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.

Person	Pets
John	Dog, Cat
Susan	Fish

(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)

Thank you for the idea and feedback!

This is an interesting idea, its not super common that we get a idea for a new data type, however I'm sure our product team would love to see if users would find this additional type helpful. Be sure to share this idea with anyone who might appreciate this new data type as it helps our product team gauge the benefit and interest. Also I noticed you're relatively new to the idea boards (welcome!) so be sure to check out our Submission Guidelines if you haven't yet as they go over what to expect after an idea has been submitted in a bit greater detail.
