Challenge #11: Identify Logical Groups

Far far FAR too many tools used. I am still fighting the urge to re-do it "perfectly", and just accept that I am a newbie who is growing, and a bunch of big finished messes are much better than nitpicking over one unfinished beauty.

 

I had an issue where Alteryx insisted on automatically truncating fields like "Screen,Tones" into "Screen". I tried to figure out why, but eventually settled on creating a numerical field instead and adding the text later.

 

I labelled everything so it would be clear to future me. 😛 Pardon the mess.

I spent a long time trying to automate the generation of permutations, but ended up just hardcoding them as it massively simplified the workflow. An append fields + formula to find matches runs in under five seconds.

First intermediate challenge after many of the beginner ones completed. Is there a better way to compare performance across two versions of your workflow than just runtime? For example in SQL you can check CPU, logical reads, etc.  I tried...
