How to choose which columns to plot in csv file?
I just found Flow CSV Viewer. Our csv files have 10-500 columns. I only want to plot only a few of the columns. Is there a way to choose which columns in the csv file to plot? The workaround is to cut and paste the columns that I want into a new csv file and then load it into the viewer.

Hello, you can always select the variables (columns) that you don't want to see in the variable view, right click them and select Hide.
If the variables have ended up in many different groups, hiding up to 500 variables may be a little cumbersome, since you can only hide variables from one group at a time. In this case, go to File > Preferences > Data Viewer and change "Auto distribute variables into cells on opening" to "Never" before opening the file. Now when you open the file, all variables typically end up in the same group, which makes it easier to select and hide many variables at once. Hope this helps!
