Hello My name is Anju Woldt and I am attending CSUF as a senior. I am currently taking emerging technologies in accounting class and learning about basics of Alteryx. If I'm being honest, it is challenging to understand different tools used in Alteryx, but I am excited to learn about it as well!
Please let me know any useful tip I can use when I'm designing a machine using Alteryx.
Thanks!
Keep it simple. Here is a mastery index:
https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Knowledge-Base/Tool-Mastery-Index/ta-p/84593
Focus on:
In/Out
Preparation
Join
Transform
Look also at:
Parse
With time:
Documentation
Spatial
Developer
Connectors
Interface (required for macros)
Data Investigation
When you're really bored:
Reporting
Predictive
Time Series
Prescriptive
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 >:])
hey @anjuwoldt
Great to have you join us on the community! Glad to hear you're enjoying Alteryx so far! Don't worry about finding it challenging, it becomes a second language before you know it!
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
