Transform multiple columns at once

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My apologies if this is already possible, or there is a work around, but I 
couldn't find a way to transform data in multiple columns at once.  This would 
be very useful where a dataset has a large number of columns that all (or some 
subset) have a format that needs to be changed.  For instance all text fields 
could have underscores that need to be converted to spaces.  This is an 
enhancement request.

Has there been any update yet? This enhancement would definitely help!

Updates are usually posted to the issue, so if you don't see anything here, 
there's usually no news to report.

Anyone have suggestions for where to fit this into the UI?

would be indeed extremely useful. The best place is probably under the "All" 
column, at the top left.

+1 for usefulness, sometime it can you quite painful specially for data with 
more than 50 columns.

1 up on this. Have 53 columns and need to apply same logic to every column. It 
just very tedious....
