Adding wordings and formula in a particular cell in excel output using Alteryx

Hi, I am new to Alteryx and attempting to try to replicate a reconciliation file i have. In the attached file, Cell A7 to E12 is generated by Alteryx and i needed Alteryx to add in a wordings of "Cargo" in A2 and "Futures" in A3 (orange cells) and also formulas in B2 and B3 (yellow cells). Is there any way Alteryx can do this?

 

So far in my limited knowledge of Alteryx, I am only aware that Alteryx is only able to add in formulas by specifying rows and columns. Can it be done by specifying a particular cell to do that?

Hi @LAISY 

 

Yes your understanding is right we cannot reference a specific cell in formula in Alteryx.

 

But you can do something like below where top and bottom are considered as 2 different tables.

Hi @LAISY ,

 

Nice to see you in our community!

 

Here is an example of how to replicate your Excel SUMIF formula in Alteryx using the Summarize Tool. You can take the results and write them to the same sheet in your desired cell range.

I used @atcodedog05 example workflow for this. (hint: check the Input data tool config, where he selected which rows to load from the Excel Input)

 

Please mark our posts as solutions if it answers your question.
