Parse And Transform Tools

They help to rearrange and reshape data into the required format for analysis.

Transpose Tool

This converts horizontal fields into vertical fields.

 

Crosstab Tool

This does the opposite of the transpose tool: it turns vertical fields into horizontal fields.

 

Text to Column Tool

Divides text from one place into separate rows or columns. It is useful if you have words in a comma-separated line, for example, and would like to split them into a new column.

 

Regex Tool

With this tool, you can analyze, match or modify data using common expressions. For example, when analyzing Twitter data we needed to remove punctuation marks. In this case, we have created a simple saying that instructs Alteryx to keep only the letters, “@” and “#”. In this way, we store words, hashtags, and users and remove thoughts like stops, ellipsis, exclamations, and question marks.

 

Apart from these, there are many tools that help you in data analytics and visualization.

The best way to learn alteryx is to start practicing and make workflows which is the only thing that will help you understand it completely.
