Ever forgotten a filter in your spreadsheet? To discover data’s deeper meaning, you need to view it through your own chosen parameters.

With spreadsheets, you’re forced to filter, sort, and pivot just to transpose and rearrange the data exactly the way you want it. These tasks aren’t necessarily difficult, but they’re super manual and prone to error. Ever gotten into the slicing-and-dicing zone and forgotten exactly what you did afterward?



The data transformation process in spreadsheets can be frustrating and time-consuming. But the larger concern is that hidden data fields and forgotten filters can wind up costing your company a lot of money.

When you finish an analysis, how confident are you that nothing got lost along the way? Would you stake your job on it? 

By performing common data transformation functions with highly intelligent tools, you can reduce errors—and risk—as you move through the most exciting part of your work. Meet the Sort, Transpose, and Cross Tab Tools in Alteryx.

These tools allow you to organize and pivot your orientation to the data in many different directions automatically—transforming it into a more meaningful format that is analysis-ready.

And by using these tools in workflows, you can always get back to your starting point and account for your steps. Never again start from scratch. Alteryx shows your work every step of the way.

How would you compare transforming data in spreadsheets to transforming data in workflows? You wouldn’t. It’s like comparing a 1950s rotary phone with one function to a brand new smartphone that can do a thousand different things.

Workflows are the difference between a siloed organization and one with a true culture of analytics. The 21st century is calling. Ditch the Spreadsheets. Life is Easier with Alteryx.
