What will Alteryx do if the schemas of multiple files are not compatible?

When multiple files have incompatible schemas in Alteryx, the platform will not bring in the datasets. This means that if the structure of the data—such as differing column names, data types, or the number of columns—does not match, Alteryx recognizes the inconsistency and therefore doesn't proceed with the import of those datasets. This behavior is intended to prevent potential errors or misrepresentations of the data, ensuring that any analysis or processing performed later does not result in incorrect outputs due to mismatched data structures.

In this case, the inability to bring in the datasets is a safeguard against the complications that could arise from trying to merge or analyze incompatible data. Alteryx prioritizes data integrity and coherence over simply combining data without proper consideration of schema alignment.
