A solution to last week's challenge can be found here.276_image.png

 

This week's challenge is a great way to get started with the spatial tools in Designer.

 

Use the provided centroids (points) to create a polygon that makes a seven-pointed star!

Fun challenge! The spatial part was easy enough, but I got hung up trying to find a clever way to convert written numbers into their corresponding digits. I know I can do it in Python, but couldn't figure out how to easily do it in Alteryx. I ultimately just went with a lookup table.
