Overview: Scale Values

This operation is used to scale the data values in selected fields. One use of this operation is a quick method of converting between measurements, provided the conversions are linear. Only data values of type: double are scaled.

Properties

Category:	Modify
Performance risk:	Low performance risk
Knowledge required:	None

Effect on datasets

How many datasets are required to perform this operation?	One
Does it create a new dataset?	No
Can you reconfigure this operation?	Yes
Can you apply this operation to a locked dataset?	No
Does it modify the current dataset in any way?	Yes

Requirements

A dataset that contains at least one field of double type values.

Results

The dataset will be modified to contain scaled values of the selected fields.
All field types will show in the final dataset, but only the double field values will be scaled.
