Alteryx User Groups are independent volunteer organizations created, organized and run by users who get together locally and virtually throughout the year....
Hi, fellow DFW Alteryx User Group members! Just a reminder to join us for our upcoming in-person meeting this Friday, November 15th, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. We are privileged to host our meeting onsite at the University of Texas at Dallas campus in Richardson, and will feature some excellent guest speakers!
Our first guest speaker is Veda Swaroop Dasagrandhi, Master's student at UT Dallas. His presentation is called, "Empowering Students with Alteryx: Transforming Projects and Preparing for Data-Driven Careers". Veda has provided this excellent overview of the session:
"In my presentation, I’ll explore how Alteryx empowers students with tools for data preparation, analysis, and automation, transforming their academic projects into practical, real-world experiences. By mastering complex data tasks and streamlining workflows, students build critical skills that enhance their career readiness. I’ll also discuss how Alteryx supports faculty in enriching curricula, equipping students with in-demand data skills."
We are excited to hear Veda's engaging presentation and learn more about how Alteryx and the SparkED program have benefitted and influenced numerous students and faculty at UT Dallas!
Next, we welcome one of the newest Alteryx ACEs, Michael Keiffer, back to the DFW stage, where he will continue his presentation from the October meeting, with some cool new topics! Michael will feature how to build Batch Macros, and will create workflows step-by-step to show each tool configuration. He will also feature an Analytic App that inputs hundreds of files, and combines them into one file. Join us to see the ACE techniques in action!
For those who are not able to attend in person, the meeting will also be hybrid and hosted on Zoom.

We recently hosted our 4th and final user group meeting of 2024. It is hard to believe the year has flown by so fast! For Q4 we held a virtual meeting so hopefully many of you were able to attend and found the presentations helpful. I know I learned a lot and I appreciated the different perspectives of our presenters. For those that may not have been able to attend or anyone who did attend and wants to dig into the presentations some more, here is a recap:
@Kenda kicked off the meeting welcoming everyone, made some introductions and gave us some 2024.2 Alteryx Designer release highlights. Sounds like some really cool new features in 2024.2 and I can't wait to upgrade. Kenda also discussed ACE Tricks which is a new series on youtube featuring short videos from ACEs with tips in tricks. I have watched some of these and they are great so check them out if you have a chance. Kenda is also featured in one of the videos from season 1! You can find the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfSLx4WE4q51BJRW3PpXomo0A6UlPP_Xv
@rkakde, an intern and student at Indiana University, was our first presenter. Rishi's presentation was a deep dive into the find and replace tool. He showed how to use the tool to find and replace data and also how to use it as a join tool. Very interesting information on how the find and replace tool operates when duplicates are introduced. Rishi's slides also included a great visual representation of the differences between the join and find/replace tools. Lastly, Rishi gave a quick demo of a specific use case where they identified country names using the find/replace tool.
@mkeiffer, an Alteryx ACE and Data Analyst Consultant, was our second presenter. Michael's presentation focused on using Alteryx in audit and fraud detection. As an internal auditor myself, it was great to hear someone else from the audit world as passionate about Alteryx as I am. Michael explained fraud by the quote: "When good people do stupid things". I love this quote! He began with details from a couple different fraud cases he had worked on. One of the cases involved employees shipping company product to themselves. Michael showed how Alteryx could be used to "normalize" addresses using the find/replace and fuzzy match tools which allows him to identify fraudsters. Very good information and visuals for both of these tools. Here is a link to a Community training on fuzzy matching that was referenced in the presentation: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Archived-Training/Fuzzy-Matching-Intermediate-Users/m-p/43852?advanced=false&collapse_discussion=true&filter=location&location=category:alteryx-academy&search_type=thread
Two wonderful presentations so thank you Rishi and Michael! If you would like to watch/rewatch the recording or view any of the workflows or slideshows they are attached to this post. I look forward to the Q1 2025 user group meeting (details to come...). Hope you can join us! Please feel free to reach out to any of the Indy User Group leaders (@Kenda, @patrick_digan or @Desmond) if you would like to host or present at a future meeting or have an idea for a presentation you would like to see. Happy Holidays!
