Deleting a column
You can remove a column in the expanded Data in analysis flyout of Spotfire clients, if you no longer want to include it in the analysis.
About this task
Note: When the data comes
from an external (in-database) data connection, you will not be able to delete
columns from that source. Instead, it may be possible to
edit the connection and exclude the unwanted column from
the connection.
Note: Following the steps described below deletes the column from the
underlying data table. If you only want to delete a column from a table
visualization, but keep the underlying data unchanged, you can
hide the column instead.
