How Do I Numformat Multiple Columns?

TrifactaUsers
10 - Fireball

I would like to use the 'Edit Column w/ Formula' function to edit multiple columns at once with the numformat, however, the numformat function requires a column to be inserted in its syntax.

 

Thanks for any insight.

Hi, Steven--

 

Easy one: use the $col reference wherever you refer to a column name. For multi-column operations, this value is replaced by the specific column name at execution time.

 

Does that help?

 

Cheers,
