Alteryx has a tool called smart tile and I am having trouble replicating it in FME.

https://help.alteryx.com/2018.2/Tile.htm

Can anyone give me some advice on how to replicate the tool in FME?

Hi, you may try to use "Tiler" transformer in FME, but you would also need to make the feature containing specific values beforehand.

Do you know how I can replicate the smart tile feature?


Not personally familiar with this tool. But based on the Alteryx documentation, I would recommend trying to use the StatisticsCalculator to find the mean and standard deviation. To find the tile number, try an AttributeCreator with conditional values set up based on whether the value is within 1 standard deviation of the mean. This is a similar Q&A post.

Example workspace: assignvaluebasedonstandarddeviation.fmw

Just because it looked fun, I added to Debbie's solution by using a ValueMapper to assign even more categories ("tiles") after doing a bit of calculation in an ExpressionEvaluator. As always, many paths to success here .. smarttiler.fmw

This is great! Thanks so much for your help!
