Alteryx App Help

Hello,

 

 

I am new to the alteryx app functionality and need a little help. I am using the app to update a piece of an sql. I have gotten it work when I am able to provide an answer. However, I am looking for if my user does not input a response so it would be null, to change a different value in the sql.

 

 

I have tried using the condition help but could not get it to function properly.

 

Attached is a very dumb down version of my app. 

 

Is this possible or am i going about it the wrong way?

I noticed two things that I think need an update in the attached example

First, you need to connect the text box "Q" output to the "Q" input of each of your Action tools, so that it knows what to work with.

 

Two, try changing the expression in the condition isnull([#1]) to:

isempty([#1])

I don't think the text box returns a null value when it is empty, instead returning a 0 length string.  isempty() will check for this and for nulls, so you are covered either way.

Need to connect the Q connectors and use formula for the TRUE case
