The order in which Grafana applies transformations directly impacts the results. For example, if you use a Reduce transformation to condense all the results of one column into a single value, then you can only apply transformations to that single value.
## Dashboard variables in transformations
All text input fields in transformations accept [variable syntax](ref:dashboard-variable):

When you use dashboard variables in transformations, the variables are automatically interpolated before the transformations are applied to the data.
For an example, refer to [Use a dashboard variable](#use-a-dashboard-variable) in the **Filter fields by name** transformation.
## Add a transformation function to data
The following steps guide you in adding a transformation to data. This documentation does not include steps for each type of transformation. For a complete list of transformations, refer to [Transformation functions](#transformation-functions).
