In the demo.ecommerce.data table, we want to get the accuracy radius corresponding to the IP addresses in our clientIpAddress column. To do it, click Create column and select the Geolocated Accuracy Radius with MaxMind GeoIP2 operation. The arguments needed are:

Ip (v4 or v6) -clientIpAddress column

The result is a column of float data type containing the calculated accuracy radius in kilometers.

How does it work in LINQ?

mm2accuracyradius(ip)
mm2accuracyradius(ip6)

Example

Copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the demo.ecommerce.data table.

from demo.ecommerce.data
select mm2accuracyradius(clientIpAddress) as accuracyRadius
