Hi everyone! My name is Charlie, and I am studying accounting at California State University, Fullerton! In my accounting technologies class, Alteryx is one of the covered programs. Before I knew as much as I do now about data, I thought of accounting as primarily tax or audit. Alteryx and other data tools have opened my eyes to a lot more in the accounting world. By the time I finish this technology course, I hope to become well-versed in Alteryx. Best of luck to everyone in their careers and studies!

Hello everyone. My name is Rolando, and I am a student at California State University, Fullerton. I am currently taking Emerging Technologies in Accounting, and we have learned many coding and automation technologies. I am very interested in Alteryx; it's organization, and many tools to manage data in a clear manner. I think Alteryx is very useful for everyone, especially accountants. I would like to know from the community, what are some common ways you use Alteryx; or what daily applications you give to the program. Thanks!

Hi everyone, my name is Anthony and I am university student new to Alteryx. So far, im finding Alteryx very user friendly compared to excel when it comes to handling multiple data files. I'm excited to see how I can use Alteryx in my career in the future and I wanted to ask this forum: How do you guys use the application in your careers and is it useful?

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started learning Alteryx, and I’m really enjoying the process so far. Any recommendations or tips for beginners? Any common or important tools that should focus first for beginners?

Hi everyone, I am a student at California State University, Fullerton. I am currently taking the Emerging Technologies in Accounting class. So far I am enjoying learning about Alteryx and how we can utilize it to simplify, rearrange, and organize our data using the many tools offered. My question to any accounting professionals is how useful have you found Alteryx to be in your daily tasks? What is one tool or automation you have unexpectedly found to be particularly useful in being more efficient in your job?

I’m really enjoying learning Alteryx and seeing how much it can automate tasks that would take forever in Excel. One thing I’m trying to get better at is making my workflows as efficient as possible. What are some best practices for streamlining automations in Alteryx? Are there specific tools or techniques that help reduce processing time and make workflows run more smoothly?

Would love to hear any tips or tricks you’ve learned!

Hi everyone!!!

I've recently started diving into Alteryx, and I'm genuinely enjoying the journey. The way Alteryx makes it easy to organize and analyze data is really amazing. I'm especially impressed by how simple it is to set up complicated tasks without having to write a lot of code.

I'd love to hear from others who are also using Alteryx. What features have you found most beneficial in your work? Are there any tips or resources you would recommend for someone looking to deepen their understanding of the platform?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!

Hello everyone, I'm George Martinez. I'm a fourth year at CSUF looking to become more experienced with accounting software. How would one describe how vital Alteryx is used within the field of Accounting?
