Triming unwanted data and create another field
- Anonymous10 years ago
Hi Anonymous,
if you only want to cut the "Q...-" text in your column. You can:
1) go into the query editor
2) click on "Split column" -> "by delimiter"
3) "select or enter delimiter" --> "--custom--" --> -
4) "Split" --> "at the right-most delimiter"
5) ok
And this is the result:
Let me know if it works.

Do all the steps above, but first duplicate the column. Then split the duplicated column as suggested and leave the original alone and you'll have both.

To avoid the zig-zag and get proper order, change (or add a field) to Year-Qtr (2015-Q1, 2015-Q2, etc.). It will then sort properly on the x-axis.
