Hi, @Shree_185 

 

Many similar functions cannot be used in DQ mode. If you can share some sample data and your desired result, we can see if there is a workaround.

@Shree_185  you can't create a calculated column in DQ, so you need to create measures or you can have the column created on the RDBMS side if possible
