Alteryx Level 1 Cert Test
Safety - Correct Answers -Designer offers a safe development environment for testing,
exploring and solving. By simply inputting data into the workflow, you are not overwriting
the existing file. You choose where and how to save results
Output Data Tool - Correct Answers --Output the contents of a workflow to a file or
database
-Has only 1 anchor for input
-take file/ table name from field
Text Input Tool - Correct Answers -Manually add data which will be stored in the
workflow.
Methods of use:
1) Copy & Paste
2) Import a File
3) Enter values in cells
- Data lives within the workflow
- values are static
- can be shared by sharing the workflow
- data is auto categorized to smallest type and size
Data Types:
- Data types may need to match that of other inputs, especially when that data may be
blended with other data
- Be mindful of the characteristics of each data type and how it may impact your
workflow later on
- empty values are assigned "null"
Input Data Tool - Correct Answers -Bring data into your workflow by selecting a file,
connecting to a database, or writing a query
-data lives OUTSIDE the workflow
- values will dynamically update on run
- must export workflow to share files
-data is configured based on the file type that is being imported
- close all input files to avoid errors
, - preview the first 100 rows of data
Browse Tool - Correct Answers -View data from a connected tool, and data profile
information, maps and behavioral analysis information in the data
What does red in the results of the browse tool mean? - Correct Answers -Leading or

Append Fields Tool - Correct Answers --This results in a Cartesian Join
-the formula to calculate how many rows will result in a Cartesian join is (number of
rows in data frame 1) * (numbers of rows in data frame 2)
What are the two ways that two data frames could be joined using the "join" tool ? -
Correct Answers -1) based on common fields
2) based on record position
Union Tool - Correct Answers -
