How to remove columns that are all zeros

Hi,

 

I have a large data set that has a number of columns that are just all zeros and I want to remove these field.

If there is anything other than zero in the column, it is useful and I would like to keep it. Sample input and output below.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Input   
Order #ABC
1001050
1002000
3302002
4507011
    
    
Desired Output   
Order #BC 
100150 
100200 
330202 
450711

Hey @acaryasin01, here's how I'd go about it. The Data Cleanse tool has the option to remove fully null columns, as well as replace numeric nulls with 0 and therefore I just temporarily made all 0s into nulls in the step before to then push the data through this tool and get the expected outcome.
