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.

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).

Example

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.

The arguments needed to create the new column are:

• Multiply - numbers_int column

• by - Click the pencil icon and enter 2

Click Create column and you will see the following result:

How does it work in LINQ?

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 * duration

• mul(integer, duration)

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`

or

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