One Tool Example

Make Group has a One Tool Example. Go to Sample Workflows to learn how to access this and many other examples directly in Alteryx Designer.

Use Make Group to take data relationships and assemble the data into groups based on those relationships.

Configure the Tool

  1. 1st Key: Select a column from the input data stream.

  2. 2nd Key: Select a column from the input data stream that directly relates to the 1st Key.

Make Group Logic

  • Group A contains A, B, X, Y, Z because X=A, B=X, Z=A, and Y=B

  • L and M make their own group, L as they do not relate to the other values in Group A.

By this logic, the Make Group tool assigns these groups:
