Description
Adds a new column that rounds the values of a numeric field, returning the smallest following integer numbers.
Use Floor (floor) if you want to get the largest previous integers.
How does it work in the search window?
Select Create column in the search window toolbar, then select the Ceiling operation. You need to specify one argument:
Argument | Data type |
|---|---|
Number to round 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 round up all the numbers in the -1to1Values_float column. To do it, we will create a new field using the Ceiling operation. Let's call the new field rounded_up.
The arguments needed to create the new field are:
Number to round - -1to1Values_float column
Click Create field.
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 Ceiling operation:
ceil(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, ";", 15) as `-1to1Values`,
float(`-1to1Values`) as `-1to1Values_float`,
ceil(`-1to1Values_float`) as rounded_up
