Let’s review what our Community has been up to the last two months and some exciting opportunities to come!

Top Solved Discussions

Here are the solved discussion threads that got the most views in the last two months. Maybe you’ll find the solution helpful in your work as well!

• If Then Statements: Sometimes, the Community can help you realize the solution to your problem is easier than you first thought. Great work @Bobbyt23 demonstrating the value of the IN() formula for filtering values based on a list.

• User Inputs from UI: @Sebastian_Chaieb2 built out a great workflow that allows for nested criteria selection in an app that enables and disables containers in the workflow as well. Check out the solution in this thread to see an advanced Alteryx app use case.

• Multifield Formula assistance: @LukeC showed us the power of the transpose + cross tab tool combo for restructuring data in his solution!

• File Watcher Jobs Using Alteryx Server: If you have the need to trigger an Alteryx workflow on receiving a new source file, this thread is an interesting read. @fmvizcaino showed how control containers can be leveraged for this use case, as well as answered some great follow-up questions on automation & orchestration best practices. Nice work!
