    Hi , Anonymous 

    Each step of your operation in the "Transform Data" can be seen as writing an m_query statement in "Advanced Editor".

    So you can also directly implement what you want in code in addition to using interface button “Custom Column”.

    As shown in the screenshoot  below, you only need to  copy and modify a few lines of code again.

     Then you will  get the desired result as below:
