Hello,
Is there a way to find the name a field has in the original datasource before it was renamed in the dataprep ?
I have tables with many columns and it would really be helpful
Hi Martin - I don’t think this is possible using the the UI.
Depending on your datasource type you may have an option through the API using DescribeDataSet. A big gotcha will be that the API does not support CSV/Excel.
For some datasources RDS/Redshift you can run this command in CLI which will show you the original column names and the data transforms (renames)
Command:
aws quicksight describe-data-set \
--aws-account-id=[account id] \
--data-set-id=[data set id]
Sample Output:
