Filter Columns based on headline

df
8 - Asteroid

Hello,

 

I used the "Join Multiple" Tool to put some tables togehter.

I dont need every Columne here (only with "spend" in headline).

I know that i can just uncheck the columnes i dont need but i want a dynamic way.

Something like a filter:

For each Columne

   If contains(<columneheadline>,"spend")

   Then Columne is needed (not filtered)

   Else Columne is unneeded (filtered).

   Endif

Next

 

The Output of "join multiple" looks like this:

datespendInput_#2_dateInput_#2_spendInput_#3_dateInput_#3_spend
..................

 

I tried to use the "transpose" tool with "multi row Formular" tool (and filter).

Then my output looks like this:

spendx
Input_#2_spend...
Input_#3_spend...
spendy
Input_#2_spend...
Input_#3_spend...
spendz

 

But then i have problems to transform it back

the output should look like:

spendInput_#2_spendInput_#3_spend
x......
y......
z......

 

Maybe someone can help :)

Hi DF,

 

You can use the dynamic select tool with the formula option and drop the condition that you put in.

df
8 - Asteroid
