Grd and Grc files in Alteryx

Submitted by Rob McFadzean on Tue, 2012/02/07 - 2:33pm

What is .Grd and .Grc in Alteryx?


Alteryx 7.0 will be supporting .Grd and .Grc files. This file format is a specific type of grid (raster) file which is used mostly in the Telecommunications space for viewing cell tower projection. The grid cells mostly represent decibel strength which normally ranges between -200 to zero. The higher value is the stronger signal strength. These values can be unique to the company so as a best practice make sure to view your data snippet values before specifying the cut off values.

Alteryx Grand Prix 2012


As Inspire 2012, Feb 27-29, draws near it is time to think about the Alteryx Grand Prix which has become an integral part of the conference. The 2012 edition promises to be more enthralling than ever before.  Selected competitors have an opportunity to demonstrate their Alteryx skill and also have an opportunity to win the prize of a race around the Vegas track with the Mario Andretti School.

Pan tool

Submitted by Tara McCoy on Tue, 2011/12/20 - 9:37am

Quick post today - More of a “Did you Know?” actually.  We get requests all the time to implement a pan tool, or a hand grabber for Alteryx that lets you pan around on the canvas. There are a couple of features already that work as a pan or as a hand grabber would.

Street Wizard Layer Extraction

Submitted by Rob McFadzean on Wed, 2011/12/14 - 2:26pm

Alteryx Street Wizard (formally StreetWare)


Alteryx users who have purchased the TomTom Alteryx Maps data set now have the ability to extract layers into various formats using the new Alteryx Street Wizard. 


Installs from TomTom 2011 Q3 Alteryx Maps forward, now include the Street Wizard within the install. The Wizard replaces what was previously known as the StreetWare product. The Alteryx Street Wizard is an extraction tool which allows the user to extract TomTom layers into various file formats such as .tab/.shp/.yxdb to name a few.

Using the Reporting Table tool to create a Legend

Submitted by Tara McCoy on Tue, 2011/12/06 - 2:43pm

I have been using the Reporting tools a lot lately as I have been working on a Consumer Profiling wizard for Demographics Now. I have become pretty handy with them and figured I’d blog about a little tip I picked up creating my own legends for charts and maps using the Reporting Table tool.

Round Table Round Up

Submitted by Adam Riley on Thu, 2011/10/20 - 1:30pm

Here at Alteryx we have an internal mailing list called the Round Table. It is a place where anyone in the company who has an Alteryx question can reach out and ask? other employees. The question goes to everybody on the mailing list and anyone who knows the answer or has a suggestion can reply. I think it is an invaluable tool and we have seen some interesting questions and answers. So much so that I think they would be useful to Alteryx users in general.
