Other than the few weekly challenges that have a main topic of apps or macros, which weekly challenges do you recommend I tackle to get more experience creating apps and macros?

It would be helpful to know what version the challenges are posted in.  That would save time having to download and then realize I can't open them.  Thanks!

Check out the attached document to see how to open alteryx files, even if the versions are new than your own.

Is there a latency on leaderboard totals update?

The "Challenge Progress Tracker" confirms that I've submitted more than what the #10 position total shows - just wonderin.

Hello!

 

Great tool. I have been enjoying and learning a lot doing the challenges!


I noticed that, for me at least, challenge #1 and #2 are not counting for my total, although I have done both. It might be happening for more people something similar too.

 

Anyways, take care and have a great night!

Hey everyone,

 

I started doing the Weekly Challenges a few weeks ago, and I can't emphasize how much knowledge I've gained. 

 

Thank you @JoeM for all of your efforts on this. I'd also like to thank you for the table provided above.

 

I am forced to work offline often while traveling. I really wanted a document saved on my computer that would have all of the information you provide in this chart. I also wanted it to be dynamic, so that it can be updated with a single run. 

 

Therefore, I developed this application that will prompt the user to choose a file location, and the format type (ie. .yxdb, .xlsx). The output is the table above of all the weekly challenges listed. It should also be dynamic so that when you add more challenges, they will be added by each run.

I'd love criticism, feedback and kudos (blushing).

 

Regardless, thank you @JoeM 

 

Enjoy

 

Jacob
