Change the Column Type of Measures and Attributes

When you edit a dataset in the transform editor, you can use recommendations provided by Oracle Analytics to change the column type of measures and attributes. For example, if the semantic profiler initially identifies a column with numeric IDs such as 1078220 as a measure, you can change the column to an attribute.

  1. On the Home page, hover over a dataset that you own, click Actions, and then select Open.
    If the dataset contains a single table, you'll see the transform editor. If the dataset contains multiple tables, you'll see the Join Diagram. In the Join Diagram, right-click a data source and click Open to display the transform editor.

  2. Click Review auto Treat-as recommendations (Review auto Treat-as recommendations icon).
  3. Select columns to change from the type specified under Current to the type specified under New.

  4. Click Apply.
