    Hello Zubair_Muhammad,

     

    Thank you for teh reply. This creates a new column and i want to avoid that. I want to do the operation straight to the column in one step.

    May be you used the ADDCOLUMN tab instead of TRANSFORM tab

     

    Both have this functionality

     

    Use this button from the TRANSFORM tab, it won't add a column
