Parsing Data Topics on the Certification Exam

Hi Community,

 

I have enjoyed walking through the inactive lessons and have learned a lot about Alteryx. However, I had some trouble with the "Writing Expressions with RegEx" in the Parsing Module. I do not have much of a coding background so most of the expressions did not make much sense to me. With that said, I have two questions:

1. What is the best way to learn how to learn how to write these expressions?

2. How heavily is this tested on the certification exam?

 

I look forward to your responses,

 

Michael

Here's a couple of tips:

 

Look through the weekly challenges index (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Weekly-Challenge/Weekly-Challenge-Index-amp-Welcome/td-p/48275) for Regex examples and work through the solutions posted by others.

 

There are also videos covering regex (https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Videos/Video-Training-Index/td-p/45161)

 

Regex is tested thoroughly in the Advanced exam - also look at the videos on Certification exam prep.
