Analytics
News, events, thought leadership and more.
As I mentioned in my previous blog about training options for new Alteryx users, people come back to Inspire year after year to attend the complimentary product training that we offer. After attending these classes, attendees are able to expand their use of Alteryx into new areas, including predictive analytics, spatial analytics, and analytic app development.
For users who have progressed past the basics and want to take their Alteryx skills to the next level, we offer six intermediate courses at Inspire 2015. To find out when these classes are offered, visit the Agenda page for Inspire 2015.
Data Blending (Intermediate Users)
This session will focus on how to dynamically extract data from relational databases based on upstream parameters within the workflow. Users will also gain insight into how to leverage the dynamic tools within the Developer Toolset to not only merge streams of data but also how to consume multiple inputs from a file reference. Tools used in this session will include: Dynamic Input, Join Multiple, and Dynamic Rename.
Data Parsing (Intermediate Users)
In this session we will review how to parse survey data coming directly from text-based files. Tools used in this session will include: MultiRow Formula, Formula, Dynamic Rename, Text to Columns.
Analytical App Development (Intermediate Users)
Learn how to operationalize an analytical workflow by constructing a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Users will also learn how to publish an analytical app to the Alteryx Analytics Gallery for consumption by a broader set of constituents across their organization.
Macro Development (Intermediate Users)
This session will teach you how to turn a repeatable process into a reusable tool that can be added to your toolbox. This session will cover techniques for constructing standard and batch macros, as well as review common indicators for when each macro type is needed.
Predictive Analytics (Intermediate Users)
This dynamic session will focus on regression analytics and the difference between algorithms available in the Predictive tool category to help predict potential response rates to target marketing campaigns. Tools used in this session will include: Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, and Forrest Model.
Tips & Tricks (Intermediate Users)
The always popular Tips & Tricks session will offer best practices for workflow development and optimization. Along the way, we'll provide pointers for performing fuzzy matches to a Calgary dataset, how to leverage a database alias repository, and how your machine leverages system resources to process your workflow.
By registering now for Inspire 2015 you can reserve your spot in the training classes you want to attend. Classes are filling quickly so now is the perfect time to act.
