Alteryx Advanced Certification Practice Test

The Create Points Tool is specifically designed to generate spatial point objects from specified coordinates. It takes input data containing coordinates and outputs a single column of point objects as spatial types. Its functionality is limited to creating these individual spatial point objects, making it inherently unable to create multiple columns of spatial objects in one go.

In contrast, the other tools have capabilities to handle or produce multiple columns of spatial objects. The Poly-Build Tool, for instance, can create polygon objects based on specified coordinates from multiple input columns. The Output Tool can save various types of data, including columns of spatial objects, and allows for exporting multiple columns of spatial data. Similarly, the Spatial Join Tool facilitates merging spatial data from different layers, which can also result in multiple columns of spatial objects when performing geographical joins, thus providing diverse spatial output capabilities.

Understanding the functions and limitations of these tools is crucial for efficiently processing spatial data in Alteryx workflows.
