Hi all,

I’m using the node “distance matrix calculate” with the Levenshtein distance because i have string variable. I would obtain a distances matrix calculated on five columns, but this node allowes me to select only one column.
Is it possible to calculate the matrix i want?

Thanks

Hi Lord_Enzo,

The Distance Matrix Calculate node calculates distance values for all pairs of rows in one column. For 5 columns you would need to calculate separate 5 distance matrices with five consecutive Distance Matrix Calculate nodes or to do it in a loop with a Column List Loop Start node.

Best,
