Table copy

[jaslabana]

Hi All, If there is a way to have a copy of a table and use that at different stages within a workflow. The problem I am facing is I need to go back to my original table in the workflow, to access the data and it gets very complex, when one is working with multiple table.

Ideally, I am looking for a solution/node which holds the copy of the table, and I would just use that standalone node within the workflow.

Hi,

There is no need to make copies of the original data.
The node for reading the external data holds the original data (Excel reader for example) if you need this data you can connect this node and the second one in the workflow where you want.

Something like this

Hi there @jaslabana,

welcome to KNIME Community!

There is no such possibility for now but maybe idea from this topic can help:

Table Copy / Transfer

Hi all. I have a table which is located around the middle of the workflow and close to end I have to use the same table few times but I don’t want to go till to the table and find it then make the connection and drag the node(s) back to their place. Is that a way to copy or Transfer a copy of the modified table to some other place without saving and re-opening with a table reader?

Additionally you can select both nodes and use Control + L to connect them. Zooming out can help to faster find nodes.
