Example
In the my.upload.sample.data table, we want to get the square root of all the values in the numbers_int field. To do it, we will create a new field using the Square root operation.
The arguments needed to create the new field are:
Value - numbers_int field
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 Square root operation:
sqrt(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, ";", 17) as numbers,
int(numbers) as numbers_int,
sqrt(numbers_int) as numbers_int_square
