Welcome Rochester Alteryx Users!

[ksnyder]

Welcome to the Alteryx User Group for Rochester, NY and the surrounding area. 

I'm excited to get this community up and running so we can all meet and share ideas. Please take a moment to answer these questions so we can get to know one another. 

1. What is your name, and what industry do you work in?

2. What was your Alteryx WOW moment (the moment you realized how awesome and powerful Alteryx is)?

3. What are you looking to get out this user group? Is there something in particular you'd like to learn, any areas where you want to advance your skills, or are you just excited to network with other Alteryx users?

Yes,  I can be involved.  I actually was looking to see if there was a local User Group when I started using last year.  There was none so I am very happy that this is happening.

Hi,

I am Renee, I have been using Alteryx for almost two years now. I work for a lumber company.

I was learning to code in R and Python before I joined my company. I was introduced to Alteryx by my supervisor and started to use it since I started to work. I was amazed by Alteryx for the simplicity and efficiency it can provide me in work. 

I would love to know more about Alteryx, especially for the certification. I would love to see more about the reporting tools in Alteryx which I use a lot in my daily work. Also, I would like to know more about building macros, especially batch macro which I am not that familiar with. 

Looking forward to seeing you all and learning from you all.

Welcome Renee!

I just noticed this past week that there's now a User Group not too far from me!

1.  What is your name, and what industry do you work in?   -- My name is Donna.  I work for an Engineering firm.  I work out of my home just west of Syracuse.

2. What was your Alteryx WOW moment (the moment you realized how awesome and powerful Alteryx is)?  I think about a week in,  when I discovered dynamic input I was completely sold.  Of course there is so much more,  but that was my first WOW moment.  No more merging loads of files together.

3. What are you looking to get out this user group? Is there something in particular you'd like to learn, any areas where you want to advance your skills, or are you just excited to network with other Alteryx users?  Yes to both.  I'm the only real user in my company so I hope to both network with other users and increase my skills.
