Where can I find the sample data for the Alteryx Tutorials (built in tutorials)? I looked where it says it is installed but the folder is empty.

If Alteryx was installed on a 64 bit machine using all the standard installation recommendations you should be able to find them at:

C:\Program Files\Alteryx\Samples\SampleData

C:\Program Files\Alteryx\Samples\SampleData Doesn't seem to be the place where my SampleData is on my machine.  Are there any other common locations it gets loaded by default?

For Non-Admin installation, sample data could be found in :

  

%localappdata%\Alteryx\Samples\SampleData 

 

%localappdata% is an environment variable which will usually look like : C:\users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\

In my case, the "CO_Sales.xlsx" seems to be missing - the "CO Store File - North.yxdb" ... etc. exists, not the xlsx-file. 

Can I download that file somewhere?

 

Thanks for any help/hint.

Hi @Kopinski,

 

File CO_Sales.xlsx is not part of a standard Alteryx Designer installation. Did you see it in any particular example?

 

Kind regards,

Hi, I reviewed a youtube-video which I believe was linked from the Alteryx.com-Domain and that examples used also the xls next to the yxdb-files. 

Should be this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=827&v=TreN5bLjzQ4

This one refers to CO_sales.xlsx and is part of the introduction course to Alteryx.

If you (like I do) want to follow step by step, it's not possible. PITY.
