Re: "Data Handling" not visible in Config for a Google Sheets Dataset

I'm not entirely clear on the connector you're using, but I see 'Data Handling' on a Snowflake dataset. Which Snowflake connector are you using? I use a few different ones, so I'm happy to try to see if the issue is specific to the connector type.

It shouldn't matter since you are using the Google Sheets connector. I would recommend reaching out to Domo Support.

Re: Additional Tooltip Fields

Agreed.

Here's the same idea, with a comment from Domo that it is in the backlog (over a year ago). Add some votes to that idea, too, to bump it, as well as this one.

I don't use Snowflake. So I can't test that. But in every dataset I tried, I get a the data handling options @ColemenWilson shows. And the icon he shows looks like your redacted dataset type.

I am seeing it, here is where it is located now. Not sure when the video you watched was recorded, but it may have just moved around.

Re: "Data Handling" not visible in Config for a Google Sheets Dataset

Could you share a link to the video you watched? That might help clarify the context.

The tabs you see can vary depending on the dataset's origin. For example, was the dataset created through a connector (like Google Sheets), or is it the output of another dataflow? This can affect whether the Data Handling section appears under the Configuration tab.

If you're trying to manage datatypes more broadly, you might also want to explore the Schema Management tool under Admin > Governance. It allows you to set and manage datatypes for many datasets centrally.

Personally, I found it surprising at first that Domo often auto-assigns datatypes. I prefer having more control up front—I've seen a lot of ETLs built just to correct column types, which seems avoidable with better schema management early on.

Re: EXCEL SFTP Connector Keep All Columns (Append)

I'd be having some un-friendly conversations with the vendor about consistency.

You might be able to do some kind of staging dataset. Something you can push data to and then process with a Magic ETL or SQL to join new data with previous data on specific fields. And apply logic to identify changes, etc.

I handle SFTP using Domo's Jupyter Workspace and Python. But I'm normally just receiving a file and pushing it to Domo or out to a network location. But my experience using Python has been highly productive, fast, and we can maintain control.
