We had examples of standard, batch, and iterative macros as well as a live demo of expanding the capabilities of a batch macro.   Please see these links for further learning of batch and iterative macros:   https://knowledge.alteryx.com/index/s/article/Getting-Started-with-Batch-Macros-1583461640393   https://knowledge.alteryx.com/index/s/article/Getting-Started-with-Iterative-Macros-1583461640389   I have attached the example of the iterative macro that I used during the demo here, as well as the powerpoint that we used.  Here is the use case problem that we solved with the iterative macro:  https://adventofcode.com/2023/day/8   We closed the session with Eloy demonstrating the complementary nature of generative AI, and coding within Alteryx, specifically with Regex.    We are looking for volunteers to demonstrate on any topic they choose for the next session so feel free to volunteer in the comments below or on the event page when we select a date for march and create the event. ...

Hello Tampa User Group,   It was great meeting with everyone and restarting the Tampa User Group. We are currently looking at dates in January for our next user group meeting. Stay tuned for the next meeting invite.   I'd like to briefly recap what we reviewed during the prior meeting and include some attachments to some of the workflows that were demonstrated.   Leader Team 1.Joe Hollub  Senior Associate Low Code Services, PwC 2.Forrest Harper   Director of Platform Management, JLL 3.Eloy Ochoa   Senior Alteryx Developer, Wipro   We used the first session to go around the room with introductions, discuss current experience with Alteryx, current challenges, and ideas for future topics of next sessions. We gave a generic tips and tricks session and answered some general questions from around the room about Alteryx.   We then broke into 3 presentations of varying complexity about Alteryx.   I demonstrated a dynamic formula workflow where we utilize the "update inner XML" option of a macro in order to create a dynamic formula tool that can utilize a user friendly excel spreadsheet as a mapping file to define what kind of calculation a formula tool will perform based on user set parameters.   Forest Harper then gave a demonstration about basic tips and tricks around strings and numeric fields. He walked through a few common examples and mistakes that even advanced users still often make in a very interactive and interesting presentation.   Lastly, Eloy Ochoa demonstrated the utility of dynamic inputs. He showed a workaround to big data limitations and he showed the mechanics behind using a dynamic input to replace portions of SQL within queries. ... View more
