Hi,

Is there any kind of intersection function available like Python in Alteryx?

Example - given below

I would like to get count of common elements between two concatenated lists (Col B and Col C) compared for each company name.

 

Appreciate if someone can confirm here. I don't to use python code but want to use native Alteryx tools

I am unfamiliar with a single tool that does what you are looking for.

 

However a process like the attached should do what you are looking for.

Hi,

 

I have these below tables:

Table A                                                                                                 

Column_1

Result

A and B of C

1, 2

D and E of F

2

G and H

3

J

4

K and A of N

4, 1, 2, 5

M, P and S

5, 6, 7

A, G, M, P, And S

1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7

X

8

 

Table B

ID

Description

1

A, B and C charts in alphabet

2

A, B, C, D, E and F  charts in alphabet

3

G, H and I  charts in alphabet

4

J, K and L charts in alphabet

5

M, N and O charts in alphabet

6

P, Q and R charts in alphabet

7

S, T and U charts in alphabet

8

V, W and X charts in alphabet

 

After using find\replace function to remove conjunction words [and, of, …] in [Column1] in Table A, I want to use [Column1] values in Table A to identify all records with matching words in Table B [Description] column and place results of all partially or fully matching records ID’s (from Table B) in [Result] column in Table A as presented.

How could I do that in Alteryx?

Thanks
