i want to remove every columns after a specific index in assign activity and assign to datatable directly

This is what i have tried

dt = dataTable.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().Take(17000).CopyToDataTable();

but .CopyToDataTable(); is not working as how it does with rows , where for row i used the below line

dt = dataTable.AsEnumerable().Take(1050000).CopyToDataTable();

Hi @indiedev91

Try this

dt = dataTable.DefaultView.ToTable(False, dataTable.Columns.Cast(Of DataColumn).Take(17000).Select(Function(c) c.ColumnName).ToArray())

Hi @indiedev91

In case of C#:

dt = dataTable.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().Take(17000)
    .Select(col => new DataColumn(col.ColumnName, col.DataType))
    .CopyToDataTable();

In case of vb:

Assign dt = (From col In dataTable.Columns.Cast(Of DataColumn)().Take(17000)
            Select New DataColumn(col.ColumnName, col.DataType)).CopyToDataTable()

Hope it helps!!
Regards

Can you confirm

is it about the number of columns or rows?

For Datarows we would do:

VB.Net
dt =
dataTableVar.AsEnumerable.Take(17000).CopyToDataTable

i was having the same scenario for rows but its completed wih the help of dt = dataTable.AsEnumerable().Take(1050000).CopyToDataTable();

but i cant do the same for coulmns

we are in doubt that your datatable has 17000 columns

Please use the immediate panel and share with us the output

dataTableVar.Rows.Count
dataTableVar.Columns.Count
dataTableVar.Columns

It doesnt have , but it can , im making an activity which takes datatable as input and i want to limit the amount of data it can take

then we recommend redefining the details:

given input:

  • datatable with X columns and Data / No Data

Expected output:

  • datatable with subset of Columns and Data / No Data

Kindly note:

was already mentioned to you
