Hi Everyone,

I am new to Alteryx and I am currently working on a project but have some problem with count.If any one can give me some advises,I will be appreciated it.

 

What I  want to to do is:

Get the record meet the criteria ,and then count(How many record there), if not equal to 0,then I want  to see all these record and then do extra work with them.

 

The question I have is

1.which method should be better? Formula or filter

2.How can I see all records which match the criteria after count or summarize

 

The only thing I am doing so far is just put a formula: Add a column:If Contains([region],"NA") and Contains([cly], "Y") then 1 else 0 Endif

Hi Drew,

Thanks again for your help.

However, there is one question I forgot to mentioned is the file I have is .xls,which means I can't get a list of file name in Dynamic input.

Can you just save the file as an .xlsx? Functionality with .xls files is deprecated and I do not believe there is any way around it for the solution that you need.
