Which Alteryx tool allows you to combine data from multiple sources into a single output?

The Union Tool is specifically designed to combine data from multiple sources into a single output within Alteryx. It allows users to stack data from different datasets with the same structure, effectively appending rows. This is particularly useful when you have multiple datasets that share common fields and you wish to create a unified dataset that consolidates all the information.

For instance, if you are working with sales data from different regions, the Union Tool enables you to bring together all the regional sales datasets into one comprehensive output, allowing for easier analysis and reporting. This is a straightforward and efficient way to deal with datasets that are similar in format, resulting in a single continuous stream of data.

Other tools available in Alteryx serve different functions, such as merging datasets based on common keys (the Join Tool), adding new rows based on specific criteria (the Append Tool), or selecting specific records based on conditions (the Filter Tool). These tools have distinct purposes that do not encompass the same functionality as the Union Tool, which is dedicated to combining similar datasets into one cohesive output.
