Alteryx for Beginners - Converting Text to Columns

The video tutorial demonstrates the use of the 'text to columns' feature in Ltex, similar to XLS. It covers three examples: splitting a name column into first and last names using space as a delimiter, splitting an address column into multiple columns using a comma, and converting city data from columns to rows. The tutorial emphasizes the ease of use and flexibility of the text to columns feature in handling different data formats.
