Description
Creates a column that returns the product of two or more numbers or the product of an integer number and a duration.
How does it work in the search window?
Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the Multiplication, product operation. You need to specify at least two arguments (Multiply and by). You can add as many by arguments as required.
Argument | Data type |
|---|---|
Multiply mandatory | integer, float |
by mandatory | integer, float, duration |
The data type of the values in the new column is integer / float (when you multiply an integer or float by another number) or duration (when you multiply an integer by a duration).

The examples in this article use values in a data table generated from the following CSV file.
If you want to try the example for yourself, download the file and upload it to your domain by clicking Data upload in the navigation panel. Name the new table After receiving the confirmation message, you can access the table from the Finder, selecting my → upload → sample → data. When you upload data from a file, all the information is included in a single column called message. To split the values into different columns, you can use the Split operation. Click Toggle Query Editor in the search window toolbar and paste the following LINQ query to save time:
|
In the my.upload.sample.data table, we want to use the multiply, product by 2 operation on the values in the numbers_int column of our table.
...
Use the operator select... as... and add the operation syntax to create the new column. These are the valid formats of the Multiplication, product operation:
number1 * number2 * number3...mul(number1, number2, number3...)integer * durationmul(integer, duration)

Using this operation in Activeboards Be aware that using this operation in Activeboards presents an important limitation: the number of arguments is limited to two. As a workaround, you can perform subsequent multiplication operations until you have multiplied all the arguments you need. Visit this article for more syntax differences between the Search Window and Activeboards. Workaround example → |
Example
You can copy the following LINQ scripts and try the above example on the my.upload.sample.data table.

from my.upload.sample.data select split(message, ";", 17) as numbers, int(numbers) as numbers_int, numbers_int * 2 as `numbers_int*2` |
