Description
Creates a column field 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 field 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 field 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 field called message. To split the values into different columnsfields, 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 field of our table.
The arguments needed to create the new column field are:
Multiply - numbers_int columnfield
by - Click the pencil icon and enter 2
...
Click Create columnfield and you will see the following result:
...
Use the operator select
... as
... and add the operation syntax to create the new columnfield. These are the valid formats of the Multiplication, product operation:
number1 * number2 * number3...
mul(number1, number2, number3...)
integer * duration
mul(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.
