Hi Angel, There are currently two areas during dataset creation that users can search and select columns - in the Query Editor when creating new datasets from external sources, there is a search bar where users can enter a pattern, and the column list will be filtered to all columns matching the pattern where they can be…

Angel, Thanks for clearly detailing ideas on how to improve the experience of the SQL Editor. I will review these suggestions with Development and update the idea accordingly. Regards, Luis

Hi Angel, These two features are currently under development and we will let you know as soon as it is scheduled for a specific release. I hope that helps. Regards, Luis

Hi Angel, Thanks for entering this idea and for using IdeaLab! We will definitely look into this request - as we spoke we are already working on a sorting feature that will allow users to sort by name and type - this will work in conjunction with another feature that is under development which will also allow users to…

Thanks for the additional information! We will take this idea under consideration and I will post any progress on this thread. Regards, Luis

Hi - Thank you for submitting the idea - in order to take this idea into consideration, we need a bit more information - 1. For Calculations after a hide requirement - do you mean just in Prep or also in MyCalculations in the Projects? And therefore the only place the columns would be hidden is from the Data Elements Tree.…

Thanks for submitting the idea - Please provide a bit more detail on the use case - for example: 1. Would this be a global setting for all dates in the system which will impact all users or just for specific date columns in certain data sets? 2. Is the desire to make this completely customizable - meaning can any day be…

Samarendra, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will review the documentation to locate where these options are documented and also per your idea consider adding direct descriptions of the options to the blend dialog. I will update this idea when I can point you to the documentation.

Samarendra, We will review this use case and get back to you if we need additional information. Regards, Luis

Hi Ravi - maybe I'm not understanding fully - but in Viz and in Data Prep there is a way to easily change the formats of the dates - If you select the column containing a date, the lower left hand corner has the column properties and you are able to select the clock icon and chose from various pre-set date formats or…

Thanks for your comment and suggestion - since sorting datasets in projects is a very different request from what is already being planned, would you please enter it as a new Idea and we will track it separately. Thanks much.

We have two of the three requests on the roadmap - 1. New columns will be created next to the selected column, instead of getting added at the end. 2. We are adding the ability to re-order columns in Data Prep. Currently - there is no plan to allow column reordering in Data Flows, but we will consider it as a roadmap…

Hi Joel, This is definitely a need and we have a story that is planned for a future release. We will keep you updated on the progress.

Thanks for the feedback and for the additional details. I have marked this request as an Option for Future Release and will update this idea when this moves forward.

OAC collects row counts and other information during the initial ingest - we have a roadmap candidate which would expose this information when viewing the data, would that be sufficient to cover this request? if you could provide some actual use cases that would help as well.
