Hey @sonica_sinha,

Great to hear! Alteryx is a great Data Science Tool. To get started with Alteryx I would recommend the Interactive Lessons - Alteryx Community, specifically the getting started section. They are quick and easy tutorials which explain everything you need to know. After that, checkout and try a few basic weekly challenges Weekly Challenge Index & Welcome - Alteryx Community. These are a great test of knowledge though don't be discouraged if you have to look at the solutions at the beginning.

If you have any Alteryx questions make sure to post them in the discussions board: Alteryx Designer Discussions - Alteryx Community. To learn more about the community and what you can join, check the Onboarding section Onboarding Resources - Alteryx Community.

Have a good week! 😄

Hello @sonica_sinha 

Welcome to the Alteryx Community and thanks for introducing yourself.

Here are few tips that helps you -

1. Interactive Lessons- - Without a doubt the Alteryx interactive lessons had been an amazing plattaform to expand knowledge of what is even possible with Alteryx. I strongly recommend to check and absorb as much as possible. Interactive Lessons - Alteryx Community.

2. Help documentations –I started learning Alteryx through documentations in the site.   Documentation | Alteryx Help

3. Weekly challenges- They get posted up weekly, at three different difficulty levels, by members of the Alteryx community. These challenges include data preparation, analysis, spatial and much more.  Sometimes I am not be able to complete the challenge but with a quick search at someone else’s solution I will find a way. The single biggest thing to realize about Alteryx is that there is almost always more than one way of getting to a solution - what separates the beginners from the advanced users is being able to identify which one of the multiple ways suits each particular situation. 

   Weekly Challenge - Alteryx Community.

4. User  Group - I am sure it will help you a lot. User Groups - Alteryx Community

5. Tool Mastery- I have found the Tool Mastery knowledge base articles particularly useful, especially if I want to understand how and why a specific tool was used.

6. Sample Workflows in Designer- Alteryx Designer contains a number of sample workflows to demonstrate tool functionality and use cases. We can access these directly in Designer top menu. Help > Sample workflows

7. Discussions- And also the power of the community answering questions and posting questions...
8. Certifications-There are three main certifications that Alteryx provides. Core, Advanced and expert. Core and advanced are free of any cost. Preparing for these exams helps a lot to enhance knowledge and upskill myself.  Certification - Alteryx Community
