Hi There,

I am new to Alteryx. I have a scenario where I have to extract Coordinates Data of building site and inserted into DB. it is working fine.
Now I have to insert 2 building data and I want to insert and update only one building data. If I use Delete and Append when inserting Data in DB than all data delete and insert only one building data. and second building data is deleting.

Instead of this I want to insert data as per the site name so if I insert only one building data than only one building data can delete and append and other building data remain same as it is.

Example:

Building Name

Location 1

Location 2

Location3

Create By

Site Name

AND

12

Smile Thanks @TrevorS for reply.


The problem is solve.

I have created Macros for this to Delete data first before inserting data in DB.
I have use "Control Parameter"  In the Action Tool I have set "PostSQL" statement to delete data based on unique column "Site name".  

 

I use this Macros in My main Workflow to delete data first for this I have use "Block Until Done" so Match data delete from DB after that Main Workflow Insert new data in DB.
