Create in a DMStudio Expression, a new column from a variable

Posted 09-05-2016 05:03 PM (1590 views)

Hi everybody!

Is it possible to create, in a DMStudio Expression, a new column which name is coming from a variable?

Thanks,

Luis Leite

There are lots of ways using the expression language to dynamically respond to changing columns from the node above the expression node but I don't think you'll be able to turn a variable value into a column name on the fly. If you haven't seen reviewed the Expression Language Guide yet, you may find suggestions there.
