Creates a column identifying the coordinate system of the given geocoord column as either laton or geohash. This can be useful if you have a column of geocoordinates in both formats and you want to work with them separately. For example, you can use this operation to identify the system used, then apply a filter to isolate one type that you want to convert to the other system.
Learn more about geocoords and their types in the Geocoord (geocoord) article.
How does it work in the search window?
Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the Geographic coordinate system operation. You only need to specify one argument:
Argument | Data type |
|---|---|
Geocoord mandatory | geocoord |
The data type of the new column is string. The result can be latlon, geohash, or null.
| Note |
|---|
When you apply this operation in the search window interface, Devo automatically transforms the values you enter manually in the Geocoord argument into geocoord data type. If you choose a column, it must be a geocoord data type column. You can transform the strings in a field to geocoords creating a new column using the Geocoord (geocoord) or Latitude and longitude coordinates (latlon) operations. |

Example
The examples in this article use values in a data table generated from the following CSV file.
...
| Note |
|---|
As seen in the above syntaxes, you must transform the strings added as arguments to data type geocoord. You can do this by using the Geocoord (geocoord) operation. |
Example
Note that you must have uploaded the following CSV file to your Devo domain as explained above to try out this example.
