This is really one of the strengths of Alteryx and an area that we should continue to invest in - the ability to do light-weight UIs without having to use code.

 

As you can see from the solution below - this is super simple in Alteryx - and much more complex in code:

and when you compare this to the alternative of doing this in Python directly - it becomes clear how Alteryx simplifies and accelerates this.

The python code doesn't look that complex - but you do need to know quite a bit about TK in order just to do a simple screen.

Fun challenge for interface tools

 

Spoiler

Nice easy one to play with interface tools

There's also a method to use interface tools as variables - that @patrick_digan is the absolute boss of!

Normally I'd include a python solve too for comparison - but in this case Alteryx makes interfaces easy  - otherwise you'd have to build a UI using tk or similar.
