1.3.5 Maths Processors

Maths processors allow you to manipulate numeric values using mathematical operations. Maths processors are in fact types of Transformation Processors, as they manipulate input attributes and create new output attributes with the result of the operation.

On some occasions, the validation of numeric values may involve some mathematical calculations. For example, numeric attributes may have a mathematical relationship that needs checking - for example, the Quantity multiplied by the Unit Price should equal the Order Value.

The Maths processors allow you to construct mathematical operations that allow you to check such values. They may also be useful in data cleansing or improvement.
