Function name

  • Add, substract, multiply, and divide: Performs an operation/calculation on the column with another columnor with a fixed value: Add/sum (+), multiply (x), subtract (-), or divide(/).

  • Base 10 Logarithm: Computes the base 10 logarithm from the column.

  • Absolute value: Calculates the absolute value for all the numeric values in the column.

  • Cosine: Computes the trigonometric Cosine from the column.

  • Exponential: Calculates the exponential of the column numbers.

  • Max:Compares with another column or a constant and returns the largest value.

  • Min: Compares with another column or a constant and returns the smallest value.

  • Modulo: Calculates the remainder of a division operation.

  • Natural logarithm: Computes the natural logarithm from a column.

  • Negate: Negates the column numbers.

  • Power: Multiplies to the power of another column or a constant.

  • Sine: Computes the trigonometric Sine from the column numbers.

  • Square root: Calculates the square root of the column numbers.

  • Tangent: Computes the trigonometric Tangent from the column numbers.

Columns to process

Select the column or columns on which you want to apply a function in the list.

Information note

If you want to apply the same function to multiple columns at once, click Open dialog icon to open a tree view that allows you to select multiple columns.

Create new column

Enable this option to create a new column after applying the function. If you do not enable this option, the existing column will be kept and modified.

To rename the processor, click the EditEdit icon that is displayed when hovering over the default name of the processor.
