This is post is taken from the WIki for Alteryx Omnibus library. The technical details of how plug-ins work within Alteryx will be covered in later posts of the Beyond Alteryx Macros series. This is a walk-through of creating a custom tool for Alteryx using the Omnibus framework. The tool we are going to create…
You can download the new tool here. I have spent a couple of days understanding the methods of the new Formula UI in Alteryx. Based on this I have put together a new UI of the RegEx tool. Leveraging off some of the parts of the Formula tool it supports a preview and syntax highlighting.…
While I am writing this as part of the series on the Alteryx SDK, many of the techniques can be used when working with Alteryx in general. This is the third post in my series on extending Alteryx via its SDKs and APIs. The first post gave a brief overview of Alteryx as a platform…

This is in many ways related to the Beyond Alteryx Macros series, and how it all works will be described in detail in later posts within that series. This release is primarily a tidy up of the framework and fixing some naming mistakes in the code. It also includes the release of the first proof…
In the first part of this series, I gave an overview of the Alteryx platform and some of the functionality offered by the SDK. The first parts of the SDK I am going to look at concern adding additional functions into the formula function library. There are two methods of doing this: XML Macro functions…
