On April 28, 2021, Google is changing the required permissions for attaching IAM roles to service accounts. If you are using IAM roles for your Google service accounts, please see Changes to User Management.
The following example demonstrates functions that can be used to clean up strings. These functions include the following:
TRIM- remove leading and trailing whitespace. See TRIM Function.REMOVEWHITESPACE- remove leading and trailing whitespace and all whitespace in between. See REMOVEWHITESPACE Function.REMOVESYMBOLS- remove all characters that are not alpha-numeric or whitespace. See REMOVESYMBOLS Function.
Source:
In the following (space) and (tab) indicate space keys and tabs, respectively. Carriage return and newline characters are also supported by whitespace functions.
| Strings | source |
|---|---|
| String01 | this source(space)(space) |
| String02 | (tab)(tab)this source |
| String03 | (tab)(tab)this source(space)(space) |
| String04 | this source's? |
| String05 | Why, you @#$%^&*()! |
| String06 | this söurce |
| String07 | (space)this söurce |
| String08 | à mañana |
Transformation:
The following transformation steps generate new columns using each of the string cleanup functions:
| Transformation Name | New formula |
|---|---|
| Parameter: Formula type | Single row formula |
| Parameter: Formula | TRIM(source) |
| Parameter: New column name | 'trim_source' |
| Transformation Name | New formula |
|---|---|
| Parameter: Formula type | Single row formula |
| Parameter: Formula | REMOVEWHITESPACE(source) |
| Parameter: New column name | 'removewhitespace_source' |
| Transformation Name | New formula |
|---|---|
| Parameter: Formula type | Single row formula |
| Parameter: Formula | REMOVESYMBOLS(source) |
| Parameter: New column name | 'removesymbols_source' |
Results:
| Strings | source | removesymbols_source | removewhitespace_source | trim_source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| String01 | this source(space)(space) | this source(space)(space) | thissource | this source |
| String02 | (tab)(tab)this source | (tab)(tab)this source | thissource | this source |
| String03 | (tab)(tab)this source(space)(space) | (tab)(tab)this source(space)(space) | thissource | this source |
| String04 | this source's? | this sources | thissource's? | this source's? |
| String05 | "Why, you @#$%^&*()!" | Why you | Why,you@#$%^&*()! | Why, you @#$%^&*()! |
| String06 | this söurce | this söurce | thissöurce | this söurce |
| String07 | (space)this söurce | (space)this söurce | thissöurce | this söurce |
| String08 | à mañana | à mañana | àmañana | à mañana |
