How does the Sample tool works in Alteryx

This recipe explains how does the Sample tool works in Alteryx

Recipe Objective:-How does the Sample tool works in Alteryx.

Step 1:-

Open Alteryx Designer software.Here New workflow1 is by default available.

Step 2:-

Now go to the Favorite tab or IN/OUT tab where we can see a tool named as "INPUT DATA".

Step 3:-

Drag the INPUT DATA tool on the below side in the New Workflow1.Now go to the Configuration pane/window and click on the drop down available to connect a file or database.

Explore the Real-World Applications of Recommender Systems

Step 4:-

After this it will redirect us to the data connection window, here we have to click on files option, then click on select file option,it will then ask us to select a file from the folder, here we have selected a file named as"Sample-sales-data-excel".Then select "Orders" sheet from file and click on Ok.

Step 5:-

Then click on Run button or press CTRL+R, In the results workflow data will be displayed.Drag the Sample tool from the Preparation tab and connect it with the INPUT DATA tool.

Step 6:-

Then go to the configuration pane/window,Here we can see the Select Sample Type tab,then select option as "First N rows" specify "N=5", then click on run button to view first 5 rows in the results workflow.We can specify the value of "N" according to our requirement, if required to see 100 records then specify "N=100", then click on run button to view results workflow.
