Details on Show Transformations


In a number of dialogs used for adding data or replacing data you can apply transformations to the data you are adding. This is the case in the Add Data Tables dialog and the Replace Data Tables dialog as well as in the Insert Columns or Insert Rows tools. Click on Show transformations to display the controls described below. To apply transformations to data that has already been loaded, you can use Insert Transformations instead.
