I'm Noah and I am a student at Cal State Fullerton as an accounting major and now using Alterx as a tool for one my classes. I have enjoyed learning this so far and hope to master it in order to add it to my repertoire.

My name is Michael Aguilar and I am a student at California State University Fullerton. I am a business administration major with a focus in Accounting. I am currently an accounting intern at Georg Fischer in Irvine, and have been exposed to new technologies that I've never been exposed to, including SAP and a little bit of Power BI. I'm excited to learn more about Alteryx and it's applications to future projects.

Hello,

My Name is Ian Johnson, and I am an accounting student at California State University - Fullerton. Alteryx seems like a very useful software from the experience I have with it thus far. It seems like it, and other similar software, are important to develop a baseline understanding when approaching the start of your career. Does anyone have any insights in ways to best develop your skills when learning Alteryx? Also, is there any other software that other accountants found important to learn, and what were the best ways you learned to use those?

Hi everyone! My name is Kotomi and I just started using Alteryx. Even though it is still difficult since it is my first time using it, it is easier than I thought, and I am enjoying learning Alteryx. I will take the Ateryx Certification Exam soon, and I would love to get some advice on how to study for it!

Hello everyone, I am an accounting student at Cal State Fullerton. I am very much enjoying the interactive aspects of these lessons as I feel I am fully understanding the conceptual and practical parts of Alteryx. One question for everyone is: What do you guys think the most important lesson is in relation to your job's work?

My name is Adam Tovar, and I'm excited to be a part of this space! I’m currently studying various fields, including finance and kinesiology, with a focus on tax calculations, retirement planning, and the history and philosophy of sport and physical education. I am a senior at Cal State Fullerton mainly majoring in Accounting and Finance and really excited learning this program.  I'm really enjoying learning about Alteryx and how it helps streamline data processes, making it easier to analyze and visualize complex datasets. What are some of your favorite tools or tips within Alteryx that have made a big impact on your work?

Hello everyone,

I found that I was able to learn Alteryx relatively quickly. I think Alteryx is such a helpful software, and it's easier to understand compared to other software where you need to learn how to code.

Hello everyone! I am an accounting and finance student at Cal State Fullerton. I am enjoying learning about Alteryx as I am thinking about how I could put it into practice at work and in everyday life. I realize that the accounting industry will require more data analytics software knowledge and experience, so I am trying to learn it just to give myself an edge  I very much enjoy the interactive aspects of these lessons as I feel like I can understand the procedures needed to work with Alteryx. One question for everyone is: what's an unexpected use of Alteryx that you did not think you would need it for but ended up using it?

hello everyone,

I've just began using Alteryx as part of a class curriculum and I am absolutely amazed by its uses and possibilities. The software seems quiet user friendly and not to difficult to pick up. Im very exited to continue the use of this application in the future and see how advanced I can get!
