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 my.upload.geolocation.data and select Current date as Date parsing type. Learn more about uploading data in Uploading log files.

After receiving the confirmation message, you can access the table from the Finder, selecting my → upload → geolocation → 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:

from my.upload.geolocation.data
select split(message, ";", 1) as geohash_strings

We want to parse the strings in the geohash_strings column and transform them to data type geocoord. First, we must format the strings using the format required in the Parse geocoord format operation (:type: value).

Step 1: Apply the required format to the geocoord strings 

...

Use the operator select... as...  and add the operation syntax to create the new column. This is the syntax of the Parse geocoord format operation:

  • parsegeo(string)

Example

Note that you must have uploaded the following CSV file to your Devo domain as explained above to try out this example.
