Worklflow output records count into Excel table

Hi all,

 

I'm new to Alteryx.

 

I've managed to create a workflow which applies set of conditions to filter the data and I've managed to output the data into one Excel file - each Excel tab now includes the data for each condition.

 

The challenge I'm struggling to figure out: Rather than having the underlying records/data for each condition being output into Excel, I would like to create and Excel file showing a simple table of the total count of records for each condition, e.g.

 

Condition 1Condition 2Condition 3
1565864

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi, @Rudy2020 

 

It would be helpful to see your workflow sample before you output to tabs on the same excel file.

However, if I'm following this correctly, you have data summarized into a group by Conditions + count of Conditions met.

 

Try using the Append Fields Tool or you can use the Transpose Tool + Cross Tab Tool combo.

Cheers!

Hi @RNO2

 

Please see the flow below. As you can see, I have 8 outputs (filtered data) into separate Excel tabs.

What I'm trying to achieve is for Alteryx to create 1 Excel file with a simple table which has 8 columns. First row to include headings and the second row to include count of records for each of these 8 outputs.

Hi @Rudy2020 , you can try append tool as shown in the screenshot,

Also attaching a sample workflow for your understanding, if that helps?

Thank you. 

 

In your example, rather than displaying the values (A, B, C), what I need is the count of records that meet the specific criteria you set in filters (e.g. it should say 1 for each column).

 

How would I do that?

Hi @Rudy2020 , I am assuming that everything is sorted for you already just gave you a way out to get columns together in a single file, please refer to the screenshot if this is what you are refering to? Also, just wondering it would be great if you could simply provide a sample of the output that you are getting from the workflow that you created.
