Removing a data function instance from the analysis

Each time you run a data function from the Files and data or the f(x) flyout, you create an instance of that data function in the document. Keeping a single instance of each data function definition in the document is most of the times the preferred option, for performance reasons. You can remove unneeded instances from the data canvas.

Procedure

  1. On the authoring bar, click Data canvas .
  2. Locate the data function that you want to refresh. Use the search field in the top-left selector if you have many data tables or data functions in the analysis.
  3. Click Delete.
    The data function instance is removed from the current document but any outputs that were added (columns, data tables, document properties, etc.) will remain until you remove those manually.
    Tip: To remove a data function definition from the library, see Deleting items from the library.
