Use this interactive demo to learn how to view and explore data within the Alteryx platform.

‍

It is very easy to view data in Alteryx. Here’s a short tutorial on how to do it in simple steps:

Inside Alteryx's workflow design, find and select the tool that contains the data you want to view.
Following that, head over to the Results window right below the canvas and wait while the data is being processed for preview.
Finally, the data from the selected tool will be ready for viewing.

📌 Why this matters

Viewing your data at different stages lets you catch errors before they compound downstream and verify that transformations are working as expected. You can spot data quality issues, unexpected nulls, or formatting problems that might break later steps in your workflow. This preview capability also helps you understand how your data changes shape and structure as it moves through each tool, making it easier to troubleshoot when results don't match your expectations and ensuring your final output contains exactly what you need.
