Someone might add new columns to an Excel table to include additional data or to better organize their existing data. For example, someone might add a new column for customer feedback or for customer order dates. They might also add columns to create calculations or to group data into categories.

Adding new columns to your data table in Cascade is simple.

Step 1

To do so, begin by dragging and dropping an tool from the tool menu onto your Canvas, ensuring that it is connected to the proceeding tool in your workflow.

Step 2

Subsequently, open the tool configuration and scroll to the right-hand side of your data table.

Press the plus button to create a new column.

Last but not least

Once the column has been created, provide it with a name and use the Expression Editor to input the desired function.

When you are done, press enter to save the new column. Press Save in the top-right corner of the Tool Configuration to save your changes.
