Feature Request: Reference Row Filter with multiple columns

KNIME Analytics Platform

Hi all,

 

it would be useful to have the possibilty to choose multiple columns in the Reference Row Filter node, similar as you can choose multiple pairs of columns in the Joiner.

Of course I could use the Joiner instead, but that one is not streamable. A workaround that would not interrupt streaming is to concatenate together all columns I'd like to compare, but I figure that might be prone to errors (e.g. if you don't define a unique concatenation character) and there should be an easier way.

Let me know what you think about that.

 

Cheers,

Jan

I love this idea. I find myself needing something similar on a regular basis.

Was this ever considered by the developers?

+1 for this idea. As far as I can tell it’s not implemented still. Like the OP said, you can use a join, but in my case, having a node that says “Filter” is easier for the higher ups to understand :slight_smile:
