Freaking thank you! I’m a newb to Alteryx but seasoned on Access. Was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to pass a simple string parameter into a filter! The magic wand!!! lol. Who knew? Thanks!!!

[@NPT]

Glad the video helped Kam! 👍

Hey Nathan, Thank you for this video. Really helped me understand the concept and save so much time not to mention the hair pulling! Thanks again!

Glad it was helpful Ayush!

Your videos cover what's lacking in many examples, real output results! So many cases show how to setup a tool, particularly interface tools, but don't show real examples of how they're actually supposed to work. Thanks!

Robin, thanks for the kind comment! I really appreciate the feedback. I'm glad you found the video useful. 👍

Hi Nathan, find all your videos really great, was wondering if you will ever be doing videos on spatial stuff like spatial match and spatial process? thanks again, love the videos

Hi Luo, I’m actually working on some special content now. There will be a special announcement on how to access that content.

Hi Nathan , Love your Videos Can you come up with a video on Fuzzy Match Tool.

[@MyHarshitgola]

Hey Nathan, Amazing explanation. Is it possible to have users enter a range of dates in order to filter the data for that window using interactive tools or macro?

[@NPT]

Yes, you'll use two interface tools instead of one. And each tool will replace a value in a formula where the date is >= [input date 1] and

Could you please upload more videos on interface tool with different scenario thanks for useful videos..

[@NPT]

Sure thing! Any specific Interface Tools that I should cover first?

Hi Nathan, I love your videos, I learned much more from them than from the ones from Alteryx community. Do you have a suggestion on how to do a similar search like this but instead use a Textbox with Multiline? I have to give users the opportunity to look into a db by some keys (the copy paste from an excel) and get in return for example the date of last modification. The ideea is that it is helpful for them to search by a bulk of ids, not one by one. Also the filter tool is not efficient for me as I have a large db. I am trying something with Dynamic tool but is not yet working :(. Any suggestion would help.

[@NPT]

Thanks for the kind words Chriss. You pose a great question! Let me look at replicating the question on my side and I’ll see where that’s gets me.

Glad you like it Lucky! 👍

Hi Nathan, this is very useful. I have a suggestion to make. when creating the filter, can we instead use a custom filter indicating department name=selection or 1=1; basically, the other condition will be triggered if no match is found leading to return of all rows; this will avoid duplicating the data set and you will get the original records with original department names. pls let me know if this works

Hi Nathan i done same like in the video but in the place drop down i added interface date tool but it's not working. Can you help me on this.. Thanks in advance...

[@Cinemazesfx]

Macros using Interface Tools please.
