Remove Empty Columns

Hi There,

 

Can anyone help me to remove empty columns?

 

I know i can use the cleansing tool to remove NULL columns....see null columns.png...but cleansing tool does not work for empty columns

 

Sometimes though with transpose or other reasons i end up with empty columns like columns aaa,bbb and ccc i manually added in to show problem in empty columns.png

 

Is there a way to remove all empty columns from my data set when this happens....

 

I have attached pics and data needed to help....with solution....thank you

@DelData Data CLeansing tool removes only the NULL columns, not the empty ones, attaching a workaround for your solution

Before using the Data Cleansing tool to remove null columns, use a Multi-Field Formula tool with expression

 

IF IsEmpty([_CurrentField_]) THEN Null()
ELSE [_CurrentField_]
ENDIF
