DATASET SCALE COLUMN

Multiplies every value in a chosen dataset column by a numeric scale factor, returning the modified dataset. Use this worker whenever a single column needs unit conversion, normalization, or any constant-factor rescaling within a workflow.

When to use

Classification: process.

Tagged: column_scaling, dataset_transform, multiplier, normalization, scale_column, unit_conversion.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Choose Dataset dataset_1 dataset   Input dataset containing the column to be scaled; accepts any tabular dataset available in the workflow — leave unconnected only if the worker is being configured offline.
Choose Column col_to_scale scalar   Name of the column whose numeric values will be multiplied by the scale factor; the pick-list is populated dynamically from dataset_1.
Scale Factor scale_factor text 1   Dimensionless numeric multiplier applied to every value in the selected column (default 1, i.e. no change); provide a float or integer, e.g. 0.001 to convert mm → m.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
Dataset with Scaled Column dataset_scale_colmn_output_1 dataset Copy of the input dataset with the selected column values replaced by their scaled equivalents; all other columns are unchanged.
