Transforms
These events transform values using math functions.
Sometimes we want to transform a value before passing it along to other events. We can do this by using a transform function. Transforms come in two types: math functions and conversions.
Math Functions
Transforms for using math functions follow the form:
=T('ceil')
This will take an inbound numeric value of 1.1 and transform it into 2.0.
SEL supports the following math functions: ceil, floor, abs, log, sqrt, round.
See an example of Transforms in practice:
Conversions
Transforms can also be used to convert between common units, like liters, gallons, miles, inches, yards, pints, etc. For example:
=T('liters', 'gallons')
=T('inches', 'meters')
The convention being 'from', 'to'.
A full list of all available units is beyond the scope of this guide, may be found here.
