Challenge #2: Preparing Delimited Data

I always like seeing the solution after because it's usually more efficient than my solution, so not only do I need to use critical thinking, but then I learn something new after too.

Here is my proposed solution. Not as efficient as it could be but happy using the tools learned in the ADAPT program until Week 3.

my challenge #2 solution

This was my first challenge exercise. I'm looking forward to working my way through the other challenges as the format is simple and engaging.

 

Do the challenges increase in difficulty as the number increases or are the two unrelated?

 

Thanks!

The indexing of strings is almost the same as string indexing in python. What I wanted to know was can we chain functions using the alteryx formula tool? example replace(.....).trim(........) like one would do in python.

@EagleOne, the challenge number is unrelated to the difficulty. This is challenge #2, which means it is the second challenge. There is a new challenge every week. Difficulty is roughly divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced, which you can see in the Tag/Label of the original post. You can even filter for the beginner ones (look for 'Labels' on the right side).

 

@hamza_khan , you can stack functions in the formula tool, e.g. Trim(Replace(String, Target, Replacement),y). You can also add more formulas in the formula tool by clicking the '+' Button just below the formula window.

 

Have fun with alteryx!
