Description
Uses MaxMind GeoIP2 services to return the approximate longitude associated with an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
| Info |
|---|
| Note that this value is estimated and therefore not precise. Use mm2accuracyradiusUse Geolocated Accuracy Radius with MaxMind GeoIP2 (mm2accuracyradius) to obtain the radius of accuracy for each IP address's geocoordinates. |
...
This operation only requires one argument:
Argument | Data type |
|---|---|
| Ip (v4 or v6) |
| mandatory |
| ip, ip6 |
The data type of the new column is float.
...
We want to get the approximate longitudes associated with the IP addresses in our clientIpAddress clientIpAddress column, so we click Create column and select the Geolocated ISP name with MaxMind GeoIP2 operation. Select clientIpAddress as as the argument and assign a name to the new column - let's call it longitudeApprox.

The result is a column of float data type containing the approximate longitude.

How does it work in LINQ?
Use the operator select... as... and add the operation syntax to create the new column.
mm2longitude(ip)mm2longitude(ip6)
Example
Copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the demo.ecommerce.data table.
| Code Block |
|---|
from demo.ecommerce.data |
...
select mm2longitude(clientIpAddress) as longitudeApprox |
This LINQ script filters out null values from the clientIpAddress column, adds the approximate longitude, and finally adds the radius of accuracy. The radius of accuracy is an indicator of the level of precision of the longitude.

from demo.ecommerce.data |
...
where clientIpAddress /= null |
...
select mm2longitude(clientIpAddress) as longitudeApprox, |
...
mm2accuracyradius(clientIpAddress) as accuracyRadiusKm |
