# Apply a transformation function to data
The following steps guide you in applying a transformation to data. This documentation does not include steps for each type of transformation. For a complete list of transformations, refer to [Reference: Transformation functions]({{< relref "../reference-transformation-functions.md" >}}).
## Before you begin
- [Add a query]({{< relref "../query-a-data-source/add-a-query.md" >}}).
**To apply a transformation function to data**:
1. Navigate to the panel where you want to add one or more transformations.
1. Click the panel title and then click **Edit**.
1. Click the **Transform** tab.
1. Click a transformation.
A transformation row appear where you configure the transformation options. For more information about how to configure a transformation, refer to [Reference: Transformation functions]({{< relref "../reference-transformation-functions.md" >}}).
For information about available calculations, refer to [Reference: Calculations]({{< relref "../reference-calculation-types.md" >}}).
1. To apply another transformation, click **Add transformation**.
This transformation acts on the result set returned by the previous transformation.

- **Apply to**: Select what fields or series to apply the configuration to.
