Summarize without knowing all the fields

Hi folks,

 

So I have a bit of a problem I can't seem to solve. I have a data source that comes into Alteryx, I can prep most of it... however I'm not always going to know the field names (The data source changes depending on usage through a previous day)

 

Day one;

 

Agent NameTime Signed InTime Signed outStatus 1Status 2Status 3Status 4
Davexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daveyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Brianxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Day two;

 

Agent NameTime Signed InTime Signed outStatus 1Status 2Status 4
Davexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Daveyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Brianxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

So the Summarize function is grouping based on Agent name, but sometimes the status fields aren't always in the data source and Alteryx throws a fit when they aren't included.


How on Earth am I going to get around this as I cannot figure it out?
