Macro Installation
1. Challenge: What is the problem or issue that you're attempting to solve?
Interface tools in Alteryx expect values to be provided in a specific column-based format, which can be cumbersome when the source data naturally exists as a simple list or row-based structure. Manually reshaping, deduplicating, and ordering these values introduces repetitive configuration work, increases the risk of errors, and reduces workflow maintainability.
2. Solution: How does your workflow, app, package, etc. solve the challenge?
This macro enables users to use a list of values to populate an interface tool easily. It automatically transposes the values from rows to columns to match the expected format of the interface tools, and provides options to deduplicate and order values.
3. Value: What value did your solution bring to you or your company?
Analytic apps can be built quickly and dynamically to enable self-service analytics.
