Select and Store Columns Tile

The Select and Store Columns tile allows you to store/remove columns that are not used as part of the script inside of a Python or R Scripting tile. Storing columns not applicable to the Scripting tiles transformations prior to the Scripting tile reduces the amount of data being loaded. Following this process will generally decrease the runtime of your Scripting tile as the tile is now only loading the necessary columns for its transformation.

Follow these steps to configure the Select and Store Columns tile:
  1. Click the Select and Store Columns tile in the canvas.
  2. (Optional) Rename the tile by clicking , then entering the name you want.
  3. Select the columns you want to use in the subsequent Python or R Scripting tile.
  4. (Optional) To verify all desired columns have been selected, hide all non-selected columns in the list by clicking .
  5. Name the column that you will use to restore the columns to the DataFlow.
Important: Do not modify the column you named in this step in any other tile in the DataFlow or the Restore Columns tile will not work as expected.
