Hi, Maveryx!  A quick update regarding our speaker topics - we will have two engaging presentations by our special guest speakers:

Following on the excellent presentation in October's meeting by Alteryx ACE Mark Thomson (regarding Joins and Unions for Excel and SQL Users), fellow Alteryx ACE Treyson Marks, Senior Analytics Engineer at Seek Data, will present a deeper dive into Alteryx For Excel Users.  His presentation will also focus on how to make Alteryx work with formatted Excel, which could be very useful for many users!

Charlie Blazer, Customer Success Manager at Data Prep U, will present, "Data Prep U How To: Alteryx Designer Tips & Tricks".  Charlie's overview of the presentation mentions, "In this session we will begin with introducing the Alteryx Designer in a different light - not just as a "tool" but rather to focus on how it works under the hood.  Understanding how the Alteryx engine works is critical to building the most efficient workflows, using the right tools at the right time, and automating our key processes."  This will be a very cool topic, and it will be exciting to learn more!

As mentioned, both companies are outstanding Alteryx Partners, and to learn more about each, please visit Data Prep U at Home (dataprepu.com) and Seek at Seek Data Services - Seek (seekinsights.com)

To RSVP, please visit the Events calendar page at DFW Alteryx User Group November Meeting! - Alteryx Community and click "Yes" in the upper right in the "Will you be attending?" area.  The Zoom link and passcode information will be provided to you upon registration.

Please feel free to invite others to the virtual meeting as well; thank you all again, and we look forward to seeing you on the 17th!  Have a good weekend,

@Deanna

Hi, fellow user group members!  I am remiss on posting the November recap, and want to thank Alteryx ACE Treyson Marks for presenting an in-depth look at Alteryx for Excel Users!  It was great to gain insight into how to use Alteryx with formatted Excel, and I have heard that many of our members benefited from seeing the techniques in action.

Charlie Blazer, Customer Success Manager at Data Prep U, presented "Alteryx Designer Tips & Tricks", and focused on some lesser-known aspects of Alteryx - how the engine works under the hood.  He explained how and when to use which tools, keeping in mind how to build the most efficient workflows based on this knowledge.  Charlie also discussed the automation process, and his detailed explanations brought to light some great facets of the platform!
