ALTERYX ADVANCED CERTIFICATION
FINAL ACTUAL EXAM |200 QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT DETAILED ANSWERS |
RATED A + | NEW!!
1. You have a dataset containing customer transactions,
including purchase amount, date, and store location. You
want to calculate the total sales per region per month.
Which tool is best suited to achieve this?
A. Summarize Tool
B. Join Tool
C. Filter Tool
D. Sample Tool
Rationale: The Summarize Tool allows grouping by fields
(e.g., region, month) and performing aggregation
operations such as sum, which is required here.
2. In Alteryx, which function within the Formula Tool would
you use to remove leading and trailing spaces from a string
field?
A. Left()
B. Trim()
C. Clean()
D. Replace()
,2|Page
Rationale: Trim() removes whitespace from the start and
end of strings, which is essential for accurate data
processing.
3. You want to combine two datasets with different schemas
and preserve all records from both. Which join method
should you use?
A. Inner Join
B. Left Join
C. Full Outer Join
D. Union Join
Rationale: A Full Outer Join preserves all records from
both datasets and fills in nulls for missing matches.
4. A workflow is running slower than expected. Which
Alteryx feature helps identify bottlenecks in processing?
A. Interface Designer
B. Formula Tool
C. Performance Profiling in the Results Window
D. Render Tool
Rationale: Performance Profiling identifies which tools or
data streams are consuming the most time, enabling
optimization.
5. You need to remove duplicate rows from a dataset based on
customer ID. Which tool is most appropriate?
A. Join Tool
B. Unique Tool
C. Sample Tool
D. Select Tool
Rationale: The Unique Tool removes duplicate records
based on selected fields, such as Customer ID.
6. Which predictive modeling tool in Alteryx uses logistic
regression?
,3|Page
A. Linear Regression Tool
B. Logistic Regression Tool
C. Decision Tree Tool
D. Forest Model Tool
Rationale: Logistic Regression Tool is specifically designed
for predicting categorical outcomes (binary classification).
7. When using the Join Tool, unmatched records from the left
input can be captured in which output anchor?
A. L
B. R
C. J
D. U
Rationale: The L output of the Join Tool contains records
from the left input that did not match the right input.
8. You are analyzing sales trends by geography and want to
visualize data spatially. Which Alteryx tool enables this?
A. Map Input Tool
B. Spatial Match Tool
C. Cross Tab Tool
D. Append Fields Tool
Rationale: Spatial Match Tool allows combining datasets
based on spatial relationships, such as region boundaries
or coordinates.
9. In a workflow, you want to calculate the running total of
sales for each store. Which tool can do this efficiently?
A. Formula Tool
B. Filter Tool
C. Multi-Row Formula Tool
D. Summarize Tool
Rationale: Multi-Row Formula Tool allows calculations
that reference multiple rows, such as running totals.

10. Which method in Alteryx helps automate repetitive
workflows on a schedule?
A. Alteryx Scheduler (Server or Gallery)
B. Interface Designer
C. Browse Tool
D. Select Tool
Rationale: Alteryx Scheduler automates workflow
execution at defined intervals, critical for regular
reporting.
11. You are preparing data for predictive modeling and
notice skewed numeric distributions. Which method is
appropriate?
A. Replace Null Tool
B. Transformation (Log, Square Root) in Formula Tool
C. Join Tool
D. Filter Tool
Rationale: Transforming skewed variables helps normalize
data for predictive model performance.
12. Which tool is required to parse a complex JSON field
into separate columns?
A. JSON Parse Tool
B. Text To Columns Tool
C. RegEx Tool
D. Formula Tool
Rationale: JSON Parse Tool extracts structured data from
JSON strings into usable Alteryx fields.
13. Your workflow has missing values in key numeric
fields. Which approach ensures accurate model input?
A. Delete all rows with missing values
B. Replace with zeros
C. Impute values using average or median
