Solution to Challenge 11, somehow my number is slightly higher than the posted solution。 Any though why?

Hi @enci1017,

 

With your solution, a record that falls into the "Tones + Screen + Trigger" bucket, would also fall into all other buckets. This is due to the fact that the Formula tool evaluates all the formulas you have written independently anyway.

When your "IF THEN ELSE" statement is true for the "Tones + Screen + Trigger", it is also true for all other buckets separately. Hence, results for the "Tones + Screen + Trigger" bucket are correct, but you are over-counting all other buckets.

 

Hope this helps.

Was going mad for getting different results, until I realised there are duplicate records with the same Field_6 description and used a RecordID to group by, rather than grouping by Field_6!

This would require less tools if I searched for the words, but one of the things I love about Alteryx is the ability to change the shape of the data so easily.
