Alteryx does not allow you to directly read a date from a flat-file. You have to read date fields as strings. In the example I show below, I had 34 date fields in the flat-file that all were stored in the format of mmddyyyy. Each date is precisely 8 characters wide.
Continuing Education. Including college education, the amount of time it takes to become a full-fledged financial advisor is about five years. However, studying and education does not stop at the point the advisor becomes licensed and begins setting up his business. Instead, financial advisor training is an ongoing process.
You can be a financial advisor without certification, but it sure helps to have it. It demonstrates commitment and responsibility. I became a CFP (R) â Certified Financial Planner â and I highly recommend that program to anyone. To get the certification you need to take an examination. There are over 285 colleges and universities that can help you prepare for this exam. You also need to have three yearsâ full-time work experience.
