Float Transform

Data in Float type can be converted to Decimal, Integer or String type. You can also perform the following operations:

Add

This operation adds a specified value to the float value.

InputValueOutput
50.62491.151.7249
0.7211.11.821

Average merge

This operation calculates the values from the float field into the average and keeps the other fields unchanged, when the corresponding rows from the other fields include exactly the same information. These rows will become one row as a result of merge. If there is only one float field, this operation directly calculates the values into the average.

The following table shows an example of the input:

Field 1Field 2Field 3Field 4Field 5
ABC105.1
ABC107.1
ABC109.1
DEF01.2
DEF03.2

The following table shows an example of the output:

DEF02.2

Average retain

This operation is similar to the Average merge operation. The differences are in the following:

  • It enables you to select a Group Field.

  • It retains the number of rows, instead of merging the corresponding rows into one.

Divide

This operation divides the float value by a specified value.

InputValueOutput
50.6249225.31245
0.72120.3605

Max

This operation changes each value in the selected field to a specified maximum value. If the original value is less than the specified maximum, the result becomes the maximum, otherwise it is unchanged.

InputMaximumOutput
1.105110.105110.1051
11.234510.105111.2345

Max merge

This operation merges the values from the float field into the maximum and keeps the other fields unchanged, when the corresponding rows from the other fields include exactly the same information. These rows will become one row as a result of merge. If there is only one float field, this operation directly returns the maximum.

  • It enables you to select a Group Field.

  • It retains the number of rows, instead of merging the corresponding rows into one.

Median merge

This operation merges the values from the float field into a median value and keeps the other fields unchanged, when the corresponding rows from the other fields include exactly the same information. These rows will become one row as a result of merge. If there is only one float field, this operation directly returns the median. In most cases, the output should be an existing value most close to the average. If there are only two values in the float field, it returns the average directly.
