Geolocated Region (mmregion)
Description
Geolocates an IPv4 address and returns its corresponding region.
This operation returns data for public IP addresses. If an IP is private, it will return null.
How does it work in the search window?
This operation needs only one argument:
Argument | Data type |
|---|---|
| Ip mandatory | ip |
The data type of the new column is string.
Example
We want to get the region codes corresponding to the IP addresses in ourclientIpAddress column, so we click Create column and select the Geolocated Region operation. Select clientIpAddress as the argument and assign a name to the new column - let's call it region.
You will get the following result:
In this example, we also applied a filter to remove rows with no values in the region column.
How does it work in LINQ?
Use the operator select... as... and add the operation syntax to create the new column.
mmregion(ip)
Example
Copy the following LINQ script and try the above example on the demo.ecommerce.data table.
from demo.ecommerce.data
select mmregion(clientIpAddress) as region
