Recipe Objective:-How to input data or connect to a file in Alteryx.

Step 1:-

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

Step 2:-

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

Build a Job Winning Data Science Portfolio with Solved End-to-End Data Science Projects.

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.

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.

Step 5:-

Here we have selected/connected a excel file to the INPUT DATA tool,After this the configuration pane/window will show us the preview of records.Then click on Run button or press CTRL+R,then in the results workflow the file connected/imported can be seen.
