Editing the Data Preparation Script

You can edit the data transformation changes added to the Preparation Script.

Both before and after you have executed Apply Script, you can edit the data transformation steps. The edit option is not available for all types of transform steps. If you are editing the steps after executing Apply Script, you must re-apply the script to the entire data set. If you do not save the updates to a step and navigate to another step, a warning message is displayed indicating that you have not saved the changes.

The updates to the columns are applied only to the data set and not to the visualization. To ensure that you see the most up-to-date data, on the Visualize canvas, click Refresh Data .
