Analytics projects are frequently long-drawn-out affairs, requiring multiple teams and skills to clean, join, and eventually turn data into analysis for timely decision-making. Alteryx Designer changes all of that. With this low-code, self-service, drag-and-drop workflow platform, new and experienced data and business analysts can deliver results in hours instead of weeks.

This practical book shows you how to master all areas of Alteryx Designer quickly. Author and Alteryx ACE Joshua Burkhow starts with the basics of building a workflow, then introduces more than 200 tools for working with intermediate and advanced analytics functionality. With Alteryx Designer's all-in-one toolkit, you'll migrate from legacy analytics software or Excel with ease.

Alteryx Designer is a windows software application that gives you an intuitive, fun and easy to use drag-and-drop user interface in order to create repeatable workflow processes for analyzing, blending data, and performing advanced analytics (such as predictive, spatial, and prescriptive). You can drag “tools” from a “tool palette” onto a “canvas”, connect those tools to each other in a process flow that results in one of 3 results: A workflow, an analytic app, or a macro. You can also use these processes you create to quickly and automatically produce results that can be easily shared with others.

Alteryx Designer is an extremely powerful, scalable, and dynamic software application that has been and continues to be in a state of growth, transition, and transformation as a stand-alone product. To classify Alteryx Designer as a stand-alone product however would not be entirely correct. Alteryx Designer as well as other products like Alteryx Server, Alteryx Connect, and Alteryx Promote all form what is referred to as the Alteryx Analytic Process Automation Platform or Alteryx APA Platform for short.

Are you a business intelligence developer or a reporting analyst? Are you an analytics professional or a data scientist? Are you an AI developer or Machine Learning engineer? The list goes on.
