How does it work in the search window?

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

Argument	Data type

Argument	Data type
Number ^mandatory	integer, float

The data type of the values in the new column is integer or float, depending on the selected input data.

Example

We want to get the cube root of all the values in the posNumbers1_int column. To do it, we will create a new field using the Cube root operation. Let's call the new field spent_cube_root.

The arguments needed to create the new field are:

Number - posNumbers1_int column

Click Create field 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. This is the syntax for the Cube root operation:

cbrt(number)

Example

You can copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the my.upload.sample.data table.

from my.upload.sample.data
select split(message, ";", 16) as posNumbers1,
int(posNumbers1) as posNumbers1_int
  select cbrt(posNumbers1_int) as spent_cube_root
