  1. Assign value in: Select attribute to assign range value to – can be numeric or a range (example: 1-100).
  2. to a ranges specified in – data source which contains range definitions.
  3. Minimum <operator> <field> – Minimum values defined in the reference data source for ranges.
  4. Select Attribute: Attribute that contains the range value.
  5. Maximum <operator> <field> – Maximum values defined in the reference data source for ranges.
  6. Select Attribute: Attribute that contains the range value.
  7. Write normalized range value – the range label text value defined in the reference data source for ranges.
  8. to – the attribute where the resulting range value will be written.
  9. If source data is already a range – Ignore, copy source data to output, or reassign using input  range's min, max or average value.
  10. If source data is not a number or a range – Copy source data to output or set output to empty value.
  11. If source data is not in any range: Copy value from source, Replace attribute with a blank value, Retain the existing output value.

 

Tips

  • You can specify the boundary conditions to be either >, >=, <, or <=. Once you specify one boundary condition, the other boundary automatically sets to avoid any gap.
  • You can do assignment for multiple attributes in one task by creating separate actions, using the same range reference data or different range reference data.
  • If your source data is a range, replace "to" with "-" and strip out any additional words before using the task. For example, transform "500 to 1000 employees" to "500-1000".
  • Your range reference data source must contain these attributes: name of the range, minimum boundary of the range, and maximum boundary of the range.

Examples:
 

Range Name

Minimum

Maximum
  • small
  • 0
  • 100
  • medium
  • 100
  • 1,000
  • large
  • 1,000
  • 100,000

 

Range Value

Range Min

Range Max
  • < $100K
  • 0
  • 100,000
  • $100K to $500K
  • 100,000
  • 500,000
  • $500K +
  • 500,000
  • 99,000,000

 

Examples

  1. Segment company size by employee count.
    • Assign employee = 541 to range “500 to 1000 employees".
  1. Segment company size by annual revenue.
    • Assign revenue = $603 millions to range “$500M to $1B".
