I have very much recommended this book to two companies who have new team members working to understand, use and then become certified in Alteryx. This is a hands on, practical text for understanding how to use it hands on. You can understand exactly how to use Alteryx with the illustrated steps in the book. I would say great for entry level and mid level users, spend time with this text and Alteryx is yours!Renato (the author) has run the User Group here in Tampa and draws a very large crowd for those events where he shares his passion for Alteryx. I would expect a more advanced book is next!

For anyone looking to learn the basics of Alteryx, this is a wonderful tool. After working through this book, it didn’t take much additional effort to earn the core certification for this application.Unfortunately there were a few places I got hung up on, which I believe are due to updates in the software since this book’s publication. This is no fault of the author, but it does lead to frustration.

When I downloaded the code file, I found Chapter 7 is totally missing. Its hard to proceed without the data

This is truly a beginner's level book. Quite thin (211 pages) for what Alteryx can do. It will get you started with Alteryx, but won't do much beyond that.
