Challenge #38: Data Blending for Batch Output

GeneR
Alteryx Alumni (Retired)

The link to the solution for last challenge #37 is HERE.

 

One of the powers of Alteryx is to be able to batch processes without the need to write scripts of use complicated code.   A single output tool can be configured to generate many output files.

 

Use Case:  A company needs to blend data from three sources and generate an output file for each product - region combination, a total of 15 output files.

 

Objective:  Create a cross join between the Product Group, Region Reference and Data tables to produce 15 unique CSV Data files.  Please note that only 1 output tool should be leveraged in your solution.

 

Thanks to all that are playing along!
