Analyzing Performance Case StudyCase Study – Off-Label Pharmaceutical Promotion
• The Problem: It is illegal for pharma companies to promote the use of their drugs for purposes that are not “on-label” – ie, authorized by the FDA
• It is not illegal for doctors to prescribe the drugs for off-label use – eg, prescribing tricyclic antidepressants for chronic pain
• How can pharma companies monitor whether their sales reps are promoting the drug for “off-label” usage?
Combining Multiple Complex Data Sources and Analyzing the Data in Alteryx
• Doctors, sales reps and regions
• Prescriptions issued data
• Sales reps expense and call data
• Training attendance data

Visualizing data case studyComplex investor portfolio
• The Problem: Providing clients with a complex spreadsheet providing factual information but in a format that is difficult to understand
• How can we provide more meaningful insights without adding to our workload?
Rebuilding the Excel spreadsheet in Qlikview
• Set-up an Alteryx application which rebuilds the excel spreadsheet in Qlikview
• Enable it to be run as an app, so you don’t need Alteryx skills to use
