Hello, I'm a new user to Alteryx. I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I do have a massive excel with several columns (1632 to be precise). It probably has a lot duplicated columns, not only headers, but hole data.
I need to do 2 tasks:
1- Verify if there are identical columns(not only headers, they must be 100% identical) and delete them;
2- Verify is a column only present nulls or zero and delete the column. The Nulls are saved as strings.
The excel is to big to do it manually.
Thanks,
Yuri

Hello @kelsey_kincaid Thanks!!!
It solved part 1 of my quest! I still need to remove the columns that contain only null(as a string or not) and zeros.

@kelsey_kincaid it worked for some data, but I think that is some Null written as a string. Is it possible to convert nulls automatic for numbers?
