I often receive data sets which have rows above the column headers that I don't need. When importing the data set, there is a dropdown on the edit menu to "make the first row a column header". However, I would like for this dropdown to include an option to for example, "make row 20 the column header and delete all preceding rows". This would allow me to import the data already with column headers. When dealing with one dataset, I can always choose any row to make it the column headers, but when you have to join 20 similar datasets, it is not possible to do the same. Not sure if my idea is clear (lol), but it seems like it's something that could be easily incorporated into the tool. Thanks!

When using an SQL Statement with a WITH Query Expression I am getting the following error: No select statement found. I was told that WITH statements are currently not supported at the moment.

Why this should be changed:

  1. WITH statements are very important to structure long and complex SQL scripts and reducing heavily nested (unreadable) SQL scripts.
  2. We have a lot of scripts that we want to migrate, but we are stuck as it would take too much time and effort to transform the script. Same for moving logic to Dataprep recipes.


Best regards

Marcel

 Case: 00027615 - created the case for our issue but came to know that functionality is not present

We had OAuth login issue when trying to set up with SNOWFLAKE as we use OKTA as our IDP for SNOWFLAKE.

We want our users to create their own SNOWFLAKE connector using their personal credentials through IDP which will enforce their role in SNOWFLAKE so they can see only the schema's which they are allowed to see.

We can not create generic connector because it will provide more data access then user needed and involve PII too so we want to utilize their snowflake functional roles to restrict it.

Its a really good use case for anyone using snowflake with IDP and have the RBAC set up with SNOWFLAKE.

As of now the once a user deletes the flow, the flow will not be visible to anyone, except in the database. But the flow is soft deleted in the database. So can enable the option for admins to see all the deleted flows and recover those flows if required, so that in case some one deletes the flow by mistake then admins can retrieve it by recover option. This has to be an option by check box, where they can recover those flows all at once if it is a folder. This option can also be given to folder recovery where they can recover all the flows in the folder.

Why I must open all the recipes to reload each sample ?

For exemple :

I make flows with many recipes (between 60 and 100 - It's a real case for me).

On monday, I make a lot of modifications on "data cleaning" at the start of the data wrangling chain !

On tuesday, when i try to open others recipes, I've a warning message "your sample need to be updated" !!!

=> If I had a buttun "update all sample of the flow", I would run it on Monday before sleeping and Tuesday, i could work with smile !


PS : Sorry for my bad English, I'm a French user :-)

When you select a column for apply function or transformation, the methods to select columns are :

  • Multiple
  • All
  • Range
  • Advanced

But this is not possible to select column with a "RegEx math" method on the name of the columns.

It would be much easier!

Read data from Google Drive.

It will be nice Trifacta to be able to export files in CDM format (Common Data Model) to ADLS gen2 so that they are fed automatically in PowerBI for reporting purposes

Please allow connections to be created from Trifacta to SharePoint online using SSO authentication, just like for Azure SQL/DWH.

Allow for more then 1 job to be deleted at a time.

Currently there is support for parameterizing variables in custom SQL dataset in Dataprep. However it requires that the tables using this feature have the same table structure. This request is to allow this same functionality but with tables that have different table structures.

Example:

Table A

dev.animals.dogs

name | height | weight


Table B

dev.animals.cats

name| isFriendly


Would like to use a query where we have 1 custom SQL dataset where we just say

SELECT * FROM dev.animals.[typeOfAnimal]

typeOfAnimal being the parameterized variable with a default of dogs.

The ability to apply various interpolation methods (cspline, linear, etc.) between sorted columns of integers.

Hi team,

We would need a page where a user can handle all the email notifications they are receiving from all the flows (success and failure).

Thank you

Allow functionality in app for customizing support page, users to be able to contact our team when there is an issue with the application, page to show our email address, not Trifacta support email address

We need a custom viewer role so that user is able only to use connections shared to him, but not re-share those connections to others. In our case, admin will set up the connections for users and they will just use them. Users should not be able to create or share connections. This will improve the connection security and access to data.

I'm looking for a way to discover which datasets, recipes, or outputs are taking up the most time and resources.

it would also be nice if we were able to view this over time as well.


an example would be sometime like the Unity3d profiler.

https://docs.unity3d.com/uploads/Main/profiler-window-layout.png

this is for a video game engine, but i hope the system can be similar.

in this profiler you can see what resource (ram,cpu, gpu) is being used and by what character/object in your video game.

similarly it would be nice to see what database is being used by what flow in trifacta.

It would be great if you can expand the metadata selection to not be limited to 2 elements (row number and file path) but could potentially add the date timestamp (e.g. $datecreated) to be used in the recipes.

Current syntax for WORKDAY function is workday(date1,numDays,[array_holiday]), and the array_holiday can't be a column a table, for example when there's any unpredictable non-trading days like Typhoon weather, we always need to go and change the public holidays in recipe, would prefer if the holidays can be from a column in a table that we can just import and update the table when needed.

Create a connector to Mavenlink.

If a flow is shared between multiple editors and someone make changes in it, there should be a way we can see all the changes made to that flow by different users, like creating a trigger that will notify the users about the changes made in the flow by someone as soon as the recipe changes or if we can extract the information about the flow or the job. I have attached the snippet of data that can be useful to us.
