Specifying a Column Expression

To specify a column expression:
  1. On the Column Editor tab, select table-name.column-name from the Expression column. If you added a new column manually, then you need to make sure that you specified a table name and a column name.
  2. Click Expression to open the expression builder. The table name and column name are added automatically as the default SQL expression.
  3. On the Fields tab, select columns from the source tables that you have added to the query.
    Tip
    You can begin entering the table name and column name in the SQL expression area to use the autocomplete feature.
  4. On the Functions tab, select the functions to apply to the source column.
  5. Enter arithmetic operators and expressions such as CASE statements directly in the SQL expression area.
  6. Click Apply to save the column expression.
