Alteryx Designer Primary Use Case
With Alteryx, we mostly fetch data from SQL, SQL server databases, and SharePoint. Some team members were doing the task using Excel for a long time with Macros and Excel functions like VLOOKUP, and these things become quite easy when you are using Alteryx as a solution.
We have automated the processes and scheduled the workflow so that users don't have to sit in front of the system to do the same tasks every day. So, the system will trigger the workflow, and it will send the output file to the concerned team. We are mainly using this solution for data blending and preparation.
We use Alteryx Designer for data manipulation.

We use Alteryx Designer to enable business users to automate their workflows so they don't have to spend time in Excel doing things like pivot tables, VLOOKUPS, or HLOOKUPS. Instead, they can spend more time on analysis than being a spreadsheet slinger.
View full review »The main use case is regarding the finance field, due to its ability to efficiently extract, transform, and load data from various sources into a target database. It enables quick migration of data, with added calculations and transformations, resulting in higher performance compared to other tools.
I use Alteryx Designer as an ETL for extracting data, transforming it in my flow, cleaning it up, joining it with other data sources, and then applying it to my business logic, which envisages a Tableau dashboard.
View full review »My use case related to Alteryx Designer begins when, in my company, we need our output data in Excel only. One of the use cases of the tool stems during times when you want to do some data manipulation or automation by connecting Alteryx Designer with APIs and by using a lot of tools to turn your raw data into finished data to get the final data in the form of structured tables in Excel. In our company, when we don't need any sort of Excel output, we use other tools like Power BI to prepare the dashboard. When in our company, we need output in Excel only, then we use Alteryx Designer.

We use the solution for file loading and occasional API integration. While I have experience working with APIs, there are specific use cases that I still need to implement. My projects have involved some data cleansing, although it hasn't been complex.

We have a client who is manually processing Excel files. They want to do some integrations and calculate values in their spreadsheets, and they're working with multiple steps and complex formulas.
We migrate everything into Alteryx, which our client can use to change values, eliminating the manual steps that they were doing on Excel. That was the last job I did, but it wasn't data preparation. It was more like an ETL thing.
