Converts a valid number string, a float number or a MAC address into an integer number. Note that float numbers are not rounded, so the result will be the integral part.

You can also extract an integer value from a json (json data type) using the Jq evaluation (jqeval) operation and convert it into integer type.

How does it work in the search window?

Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the To Int operation. You need to specify one argument:

The data type of the values in the new column is integer.

Example 1

In the demosiem.logtrust.ecommerceweb.dataactivity table, we want to divide the values of the bytesTransferred column by 2.5, and then transform the resulting float values into integer. First, use the Division (div, \) operation to get the results needed in a new column (BytesFloat). 

Then, add a new column using the To Int operation. The arguments needed are:

...

We use the To json operation and enter the JSON string we want to use to get a column representing it in json data type.

...

Step 2: Extract the integer value from the JSON objects

...

• jq -  Click the pencil icon and enter .int

• json - json column

...

Step 3: Transform the integer values into integer data type

Finally, we use the To int operation to transform the integer representations in json data type into integer data type. 

...

Click Create column and you will see the following result:

...

How does it work in LINQ?

...

• int(number_string)

• int(float)

• int(mac)

• int(json_integer)

Example 1

You can copy the following LINQ script and try the first example explained above on the demosiem.logtrust.ecommerceweb.dataactivity table. 

from demosiem.logtrust.ecommerceweb.dataactivity
select bytesTransferred \ 2.5 as BytesFloat,
int(BytesFloat) as BytesInteger

Example 2

You can copy the following LINQ script and try the second example explained above on the demosiem.logtrust.ecommerceweb.dataactivity table. 

from demosiem.logtrust.ecommerceweb.dataactivity
select jsonparse("{\"str\": \"hello\", \"int\": 1, \"float\": 2.5, \"boolean\": true, \"array\": [1,2,3], \"object\": {\"a\": 5}}") as json
select jqeval(jqcompile(".int"), json) as jsonInt,
int(jsonInt) as Integer
