Apply a transformation function to data

The following steps guide you in applying a transformation to data. This documentation does not include steps for each type of transformation. For a complete list of transformations, refer to [Reference: Transformation functions]({{< relref "../reference-transformation-functions.md" >}}).

Before you begin

  • [Add a query]({{< relref "../query-a-data-source/add-a-query.md" >}}).

To apply a transformation function to data:

  1. Navigate to the panel where you want to add one or more transformations.

  2. Click the panel title and then click Edit.

  3. Click the Transform tab.

  4. Click a transformation.

    A transformation row appear where you configure the transformation options. For more information about how to configure a transformation, refer to [Reference: Transformation functions]({{< relref "../reference-transformation-functions.md" >}}).

    For information about available calculations, refer to [Reference: Calculations]({{< relref "../reference-calculation-types.md" >}}).

  5. To apply another transformation, click Add transformation.

    This transformation acts on the result set returned by the previous transformation.
