Prerequisites

Data Preparation in Alteryx
1

The Formula Tool

Discover the power of string functions, mathematical functions, and conditional statements such as IF, ELSEIF, and IIF with the formula tool. Dig into more complex conditional logic with AND (&&), OR (||), and NOT (!) keywords and operators. Be ready for numerous formula tool use cases you might encounter in your datasets.

2

The Transpose Tool

The transpose tool gives you the power to alter the orientation of a data table, pivoting so horizontal data fields become vertical. Learn how to configure this tool, and when to use it. This allows for extracting data in non-standard formats. There's no limit on the number of rows or fields that can be transposed. You'll be making datasets longer and skinnier in no time!
Start Chapter
3

The Cross Tab Tool

Explore the Cross Tab Tool in Alteryx, unpivoting columns into rows and aggregating data based on specified parameters. Gain insights into configuring this tool to seamlessly reshape your data, facilitating streamlined analysis and reporting. With the Cross Tab Tool, you'll unlock the potential to efficiently organize your data in the desired format, paving the way for reporting, visualization, and deeper exploration of your datasets.

    I do think there could be a little more education and the formulas. I had to use copilot to explain those a little better.
