Editing Table Output

Hi Community,

 

I have to do an adjustment in a workflow, which I did not create by myself. If I would make this adjustment prior to the Table Tool, I would have to rebuild the entire workflow and it would get very complicated. Is there a way to edit the output after the Table Tool?

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi @verast23,

 

You wouldn't be able to edit the data in the table after the table tool. It depends what you're trying to do? If the structure of the data stays the same there should be no need for a rebuild, if the structure changes there might just need to be a few tweaks made. What are you trying to change?

 

Kind regards,

Jonathan

Thanks Jonathan for your answer.

 

I've adjusted the workflow now a bit. 

I just don't know how I can delete a column, if in the first row is the word "Delete".

 

Field 1Field 2Field 3Field 4Field 5Field 6 Field 7
134Delete112098345Delete218

 

So here, Field2 & Field5 should be deleted.

 

Do you know an approach?

Thanks in advance!

I believe the moment you transform the data into a Table, you cannot edit the columns anymore. So you need to remove these columns prior to the table tool transforming them into a table object.

 

Just unselect them right here in the Table Tool
