The Alteryx Unique tool helps to find unique records from the source. The Unique tool returns two outputs, and they are Unique records (U) and Duplicate records (D). To demonstrate this Alteryx Unique Tool, we used the Customer_Country text file.
First, drag and drop the Input Data Tool, and select the Customer_Country text file from the Connect a File or Database option configuration tab.
