Column Distance

Go to Product

This node allows to calculate the distance between two input columns easily. No need to create a complete distance matrix, but simply pick two inputs between which the distance measure is calculated. You can use arbitrary distance nodes, which work with a single input column (e.g. String Distances, Geo Distances, Collection Distances, etc.).

Options

Second input column
The second input column against which to calculate the distance. (first column is selecteed in the connected distance node).

Input Ports

Icon
Input table which contains the columns between which the distance should be calculated.
