Bye-bye Excel, hello KNIME

Are you one of those intrepid people who has faced infinite macros and formulas in Excel while browsing endless tutorials on YouTube? Welcome to the Brave Club! But what if we told you there was a more straightforward and powerful way to manage your data? Let us introduce you to KNIME, the tool that will change how you work with data.

Note: This article is intended to give information about KNIME and its features, including the new features introduced in the latest software release. This is not intended to dismiss the use of Excel, which remains a valuable tool in many situations.

Hassle-Free Automation

Forget about those sleepless nights adjusting macros as if you were a vampire. KNIME is responsible for automating repetitive tasks and creating complex workflows.

Large-Scale Data Management from Different Data Sources

Does dealing with huge data sets make you sweat???? KNIME is designed to process large-scale data and handle complexity in an efficient manner. With the integration of tools such as Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark, you can effortlessly load data from relational databases and execute SQL queries directly on the platform, connect to APIs or load your local files, such as XML, CSV or Excel with ease.

Scalability??, Power in Machine Learning and AI ??

KNIME stands out as a versatile tool in Machine Learning and Deep Learning. With its “Machine Learning” module and the integration of libraries such as TensorFlow, Keras, scikit-learn, or KNIME’s ability to automate workflows with AutoML simplifies the process of model selection and hyperparameter tuning. Additionally, the new extension for AI and LLMs allows you to leverage the power of ChatGPT and other LLMs in your KNIME workflows.

KNIME gives you the flexibility you need to model any type of data. ??

Advanced Viewing

Regarding advanced visualization, KNIME has introduced new nodes and improved a lot in recent years. As a novelty in this new version, we have the new “Reporting” nodes (I advise you to read the article below).

Special Nodes for Excel

The latest version of KNIME introduces new nodes specifically designed to simplify the lives of spreadsheet users. These include:

• Value Lookup: Adds matching values from a dictionary table to a data table based on a lookup column.
• Row Aggregator: Aggregates numeric columns based on aggregation functions such as occurrence count, sum, average, minimum, or maximum.
• Table Splitter: Splits the input table based on a given condition.
• Table Cropper: Crops the input table based on the selected row and column range.
• Cell Extractor: Extracts the value of a single cell from the input table.
• Table Updater: Updates cells in the top input table with matching cells from the bottom update table.
• Cell Updater: Updates a single cell in the input table with the value of the specified flow variable.

I advise you to watch the webinar where our friend Pablo Zapata M shows some of these nodes in action.

These new features make automation and data management easier and more efficient than ever.
