Colors in Calculated Fields (Tableau)

As our first week diving into Alteryx comes to a close, I have developed an appreciation for Tableau's coloring within calculated fields.

Something so simple and something I have consistently taken advantage of isn't available within most of Alteryx, except within the Formula Tool.

Here's a breakdown of the various colors you will see within calculated fields:

ORANGE:

Represents a field within the data.

BLUE:

Represents an aggregation.

BLACK:

Represents other syntax-related text.

GREY:

Represents Comments.

PURPLE:

Represents parameters.

RED:

Will appear as a squiggly line and represents an error.
