# Remove column

Use the **Remove Column** transformation to remove columns that you don't need for analysis or reporting.

Removing unnecessary columns simplifies query results and reduces visual clutter.

The following example removes the **Sum of Sales** column from a query.

1. On the **Transform** tab, select **Remove Column**.
2. In **Column**, select the column to remove.
3. Select **Remove**.

After you remove the column, it no longer appears in the query results.

This example removes the **Sum of Sales** column.

Subsequent transformations, calculations, and reporting scenarios don't include the removed column.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fabricplan.com/planning-sheets/how-tos/infobridge/data-transformations/remove-column.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
