What is one feature of the Formula Tool in Alteryx?

The Formula Tool in Alteryx is specifically designed to perform calculations and create new fields based on expressions you define. It allows users to generate new calculated columns by applying various mathematical functions, string manipulations, logical expressions, and date operations directly on the dataset. This feature is essential for transforming data, enriching datasets with calculated insights, and preparing data for further analysis or processing in an Alteryx workflow. By leveraging the Formula Tool, users can enhance their data's analytical capabilities and tailor the information to meet specific reporting or modeling needs.

The other options, while relevant to data manipulation, are not functions of the Formula Tool. The creation of visualizations belongs to visualization tools in Alteryx, connecting different data sources is a capability of tools designed for data input and union, and sorting data is accomplished using the Sort Tool in a workflow.
