Filtering column based on the data for column header

[Ravy12]

Hello Expert,

I have three questions:

1. How can columns be filtered based on the column header.

For eg, Below is the format of my data:

From below table, I would like to filter months for the year 2019, which is 201901 to 201912.

Select tool can do this but is there a dynamic filter which can be made ?

Corp Rep Group	1701	1702	1703	1704	1705	1706	1707	1708	1709	1710	1711	1712	1801	1802	1803	1804	1805	1806	1807	1808	1809	1810	1811	1812	1901	1902	1903	1904	1905	1906	1907	1908	1909	1910	1911	1912
A	2.7	5.7	8.7	11.7	14.7	17.7	20.7	23.7	26.7	29.7	32.7	35.7	38.7	41.7	44.7	47.7	50.7	53.7	56.7	59.7	62.7	65.7	68.7	71.7	74.7	77.7	80.7	83.7	86.7	89.7	92.7	95.7	98.7	101.7	104.7	107.7
B	2.66	3.66	4.66	5.66	6.66	7.66	8.66	9.66	10.66	11.66	12.66	13.66	14.66	15.66	16.66	17.66	18.66	19.66	20.66	21.66	22.66	23.66	24.66	25.66	26.66	27.66	28.66	29.66	30.66	31.66	32.66	33.66	34.66	35.66	36.66	37.66

2. After filtering the months for the year 2019, how can substitute month numbers to month word.

example: 201901 as Jan , 201902 as Feb, 201903 as March and so on

3. All the values for the month 201901 to 201912 is imported as a string. I would like to convert all the values to double/ numeric at once. How can this be achieved without select tool.

Hi @Ravy12 

In this case you should use Dynamic Select tool.

ToNumber([Name]) >= 1900 should work

To change the names of the fields to Regular month Names, you should use the Dynamic Rename tool with Formula option.

DateTimeFormat(DateTimeParse('20' +[_CurrentField_], "%y%m"), "%b")

This should work.

Hi Thableaus, 

Can you share a sample workflow. From the list of tools, I cannot find a dynamic select tool.

Dynamic Select is under the Developer Tab.

You can also type the name of the tool on the Search Bar, at the top right of Designer.

Thanks Thableaus. It worked.
