What is the use of Metadata in Alteryx

This recipe explains what is the use of Metadata in Alteryx

Recipe Objective:-What is the use of Metadata 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.

Build a Multi Touch Attribution Model in Python with Source Code

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"Office city sales".Then select office city sales sheet from file and click on Ok.

Step 5:-

Here the excel file "Office city sales" is connected to the INPUT DATA tool,After this the configuration pane/window will show us the preview of file records.Then click on Run button or press CTRL+R,then in the results workflow the file connected/imported can be seen or we can also click on the output anchor of the INPUT DATA tool to see the data in the results workflow.In the results workflow click on the "Metadata" option to see the column/field data and data type.
