Here’s my solution. It was some good practice.

This was an interesting problem I appreciate the creativity of using the absolute function to find the row with the most data.

This was a challenge because I struggled to figure out how to find the most complete row, but the video was super helpful! This taught me some new techniques to use as I keep practicing.

The solution was pretty difficult to figure out. I was pretty close on my own, but I did not clean the data properly to get the correct final answer.

This was hard and I was frustrated at a few steps because I didn’t know what to do, but I got through. Thank you!

This challenge helped me learn what it meant by “most complete” and how to use the unique tool on Alteryx. Thank you!

The search to find the unique values by absolute value didn’t seem very intuitive to me (I probably wouldn’t have come up with it on my own) but I appreciated that I was able to understand it after I blindly trusted the data and just kept going. it was good to learn how to use the unique function!

Here is my solution! This taught me that it’s important to know what data type you have each field saved as.

This was actually a tough one but I learned a lot of new tools. I think it would have gone more smoothly if I did a rough draft on paper first before organizing the tools.
