Topic: Quick Transform?
Quick Transform?
Really love this tool but was hoping to be able to use the quick transform function shown in the 2nd webcast. However, there are no buttons showing other than the -. I'd really love to be able to do quick conversions to different data types and export more than one at a time instead of having to run multiple transformations to change each column type. Is this function still in 2.2?
Hi Tazmon,
The functionality is still there yes. You can find all these functions (and more) in the "Add transformer" menu. Only difference is, that we decided to remove those "shortcut buttons" that you refer to, because they where sometimes misleading people to think that this was the only way you could do transformations, while they only presented a specific subset of available transformations.
If you have any suggestions as to how we further improve the UI in this regard, please let your voice be heard :)

I think it would be nice to allow data conversions to work on multiple rows. Say I have 10 date rows in a set which are all recognized as strings. I want to convert them and instead of running 10 conversions, it would be great to just have to run one.
Hi Tazmon,
Yes, that's a good suggestion. I will add a feature request in the bugtracker for it.
