Hi,
I am student at Cal State Fullerton, and I’m currently learning Alteryx for one of my classes. I am excited to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or tips. Thank you!
Hi @DCastro the Alteryx Academy is a great place to start. I would recommend the Getting Started learning path first as it fairly comprehensive.
Hi @DCastro
Welcome to Alteryx and Alteryx community. Below highlighted sections are the place where you find different learning resources.
Happy to help : )
Cheers and happy analyzing : )
The best way to learn Alteryx is take a sample and try do something, think in how it begins and where do you wanna go!
The main tabs that you must know is:
-In/Out (all)
Focus in: Input tool
-Preparation (all)
Focus in: Formula, Filter, Select, Data Cleansing Multi-Row Formula and Unique
-Join (all except Fuzzy)
Focus in: Join and Union
-Parse (DateTime and Text to columns)
-Transform (All)
Focus in: Summarize, Transpose and Cross Tab
If you Study all of this tools, you will be a Core Alteryx user.
Hope i help you. See Ya (and like my post >:])
To add on to the above, the weekly challenges are a great way to put the learning paths into practice, as well as see tools you may not use in your day to day work. They are divided into basic, intermediate, and advanced difficulties. The basic ones are a great starting point to build experience actually using the software
Hi @DCastro ,
Welcome to the Community.
The best way to learn and enjoy Alteryx is to learn while you develop. Considering you are a student, check out SparkED. This would give you information regarding educational licensing.
You will be pleasantly surprised at the number of pre-developed solutions available on the community contributed by the members. I would strongly suggest checking those out and reach out out in discussion if you have any questions
As for a learning plan/track check out the response on this post by @marqueecrew.

hey @DCastro
Great to have you join us on the community! Fantastic to hear you're enjoying Alteryx so far!
Be sure to have a look around the community - its really a fantastic place for learning. A couple of resources I would especially recommend knowing about are:
I hope you find Alteryx to be easy to learn, and intuitive to use. Do remember that almost every tool has an example workflow and help documentation if you right click the tool in the tool palette:
("Help" for the tool documentation, "Open Example" for the example workflow).
And be sure to search for/ask for help on the community if you get stuck. Alternatively, feel free to drop me a message here on the community!
Cheers,
TheOC
