Indianapolis, IN

Thanks to all those who attended the latest Indy Alteryx User Group meeting!   We started off with the one and only @JoshuaB (Alteryx Chief Evangelist) presenting the latest Alteryx updates, including some neat features that are coming in the future. While Alteryx continues to make big updates to Designer/Server (Control Containers for example), he also demo'd some of the newer alteryx products (see Designer Cloud and Auto Insights). He pointed out it's important that users continue to collaborate on the Ideas board and keep the feedback coming.   @Desmond then walked us through his Weekly Challenge Submission. He used a kaggle dataset to determine if NFL teams were focusing more on the pass in more recent years. We've attached his workflow (and solution) here. Go ahead and try your hand at solving it!    We encourage everyone to try the weekly challenge on October 23rd when our very own @Kenda will have her weekly challenge drop. Be sure to respond in the first 7 days!  That's a wrap! We would love for our next meeting to be in person. If you would like to host the next meeting in the Indy area, reach out to us and let us know.   @patrick_digan  @Kenda  @Desmond  ... View more

Your entries were creative and challenging, making the event even more exciting and the selection of contestants difficult!   After much deliberation and careful consideration, we are thrilled to announce that we selected Kenda’s weekly challenge to run on October 23. Congratulations, @Kenda! Your challenge stood out, and we are looking forward to seeing it published on our Weekly Challenge page.   From October 2 to October 30, we will feature one of the four selected user group challenges. The winner of the October Takeover will be the weekly challenge that receives the most replies during the first 7 days after publication. So, now is the time to rally your friends and fellow Community members to support your challenge!   The winner of the October Takeover will receive some cool swag from the Academy, as well as bragging rights for their Alteryx skills and creativity!   We encourage everyone to participate, engage, and make this October Takeover event memorable. It is not just about winning; engaging with the Maveryx Community and shared enthusiasm among Alteryx users makes events like these so special.   Once again, congratulations to Kenda Sanderson, and we look forward to seeing your challenge in action on October 23.
