Hello everyone. I have a simple question that I am hoping someone can answer!
Is there a way to maintain the mapping that occurs when using the select tool? What I would like is an output dataset that shows "Column #1 used to be named A and it was renamed too Hello". This way I could store in a database the translation of data that is occuring by a select clause within Alteryx.
Attached is an Example workflow. In the workflow I have the dataset
| A | B | C |
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
I rename column A into A1PZB. I rename column B into A1PBP and I rename column C into A1PBI. Unfortunately I also change the order of the variables so that the old variable C is now in teh first position. As such my data becomes like below.
| A1PBI | A1P2B | A1PBP |
| 3 | 1 | 2 |
What I want is a dataset that shows this translation for database storage. So I need this...
| Old Column Name | Old Column Position | New Column Name | New Column Position |
| A | 1 | A1P2B | 1 |
| B | 2 | A1PBP | 2 |
| C | 3 | A1PBI | 3 |
Thank you in advance for your help.
