Alteryx Formula Add Ons

A set of utility functions for Alteryx based off the XML and C++ SDK.

This wiki contains documentation and examples of how to use the various function, as well as some details on installation. It also contains some notes and tips for developers wanting to creating new functions.

Goals

The idea of this project is to:

  • provide a set of useful functions to make data preparation and analysis simpler and easier
  • increase exposure to the formula add in SDK.

This project started to make string filtering easier within version 9 with the creation of three simple XML based functions: These are now part of version 10, and commented out in this project

  • StartsWith
  • EndsWith
  • Contains.

Alteryx provides a great SDK for creating both custom tools and new formula. Part of the goals of this project is to create a set of sample XML and C++ functions people could use as basis to create their own.
