Want to create macro which will clean all column dynamically

Hi All,

 

I want to create macro which will clean all column values dynamically.

 

Let me give one scenario.

 

I have data which need to prepare first so same table we are getting in multiple workflow.

 

i don't  want to clean one by one column manually using tool instead i would like to create one macro where i will feed all column  automatically and it will detect string and integer column and accordingly will clean data.

 

Now cleaning activity means :

 

ex : convert null to 0

       trimming space of string value

       etc.

 

Any help with attaching workflow file with reply would be appreciate .

 

Thanks,

Hemraj

Hey @Hemraj_ash 

 

Have you tried Auto-Field & Data-Cleanse?

 

Autofield will choose the field type and Data Cleanse will trim, convert nulls etc

Hi @Hemraj_ash,

 

the Multi-field tool allows you to apply the same formula to multiple columns, depending on their type.

If you use it within a macro and keep the "Dynamic or Unknown Fields" checkbox checked, you should be able to get what you want.

 

Hope this helps!

Giuseppe
