Determine column types using type information in data set rather than data values
Spotfire infers column types by examining the values in (the first 1000) rows of the data set being loaded. This generally works well but makes mistakes often enough that manual correction becomes laborious.
A case in point is when real-valued dat...
Support for in-memory star-schema relational model without requirement of Insert Columns
Support for 2+ tables in the same visualization.
Note: The current functionality (as of 7.8 and earlier) supports two FACT tables in the same visualization, but not a FACT table and 1+ DIMENSION table(s).

When creating a column add (aka join) between tables, it would be amazing to be able to more specifically define the join type rather than only having an '='. If for example you could select the type from =, >, <, >=, <=, etc. then you...
Consumer user in WebPlayer is able to hide a column (see screen shot). There is no possibility in the menu to "un.hide" the hidden columns. It would make sense if the users could un-hide the column they marked as hidden before.
Spotfire Analyst - Improve the 'Match Columns' window
It would be very useful in some cases to be able to see columns statistics (the same information available in the Data analysis flyout) from the "old" and "new" data. This would help to make a decision on which columns should be matched when the c...
Data Canvas: Export/Import of ”node configurations” (transformation collections) to be reused in other dxp files.
It would be very productive if it was possible to export/import parts of the configurations (collections of actions) from the data canvas – to be (re)used in other dxp files. Despite that it is possible to exchange data sources in a dxp, which som...
Spotfire Analyst - Add 'Description' field within the 'Add calculated column' window
When several calculated columns need to be added, it would be great to have the possibility to have the column Description (available from Data -> Column properties) field available as shown in the attached screenshot. When the column is added ...
Pre-defined DateTime ranges for loading data (on-demand)
We need to report on data that is filtered on many columns and special DateTime intervals. Information Links are very large so we need to set filters as part of the query that imports data into Spotfire so that only the rows needed by the report a...
The Cross table in Spotfire is a nice way to visually build a pivoted data table. It would be great if it was possible to create a pivot transformation from the cross table (similar to how it is possible to create a filter transformation from a fi...
