Formula¶
This processor computes new columns using formulas based on other columns (like in a spreadsheet). The formula language provides:
- Math functions
- String manipulation functions
- Date handling functions
- Boolean and conditional expressions for rules creation
Usage examples¶
- Compute a numerical expression:
(col1 + col2) / 2 * log(col3)
- Manipulate strings :
toLowercase(substring(strip(mytext), 0, 7))
- Create a rule-based column:
if (width > height, "wide", "tall")
