How to use the "import" function to define attributes?

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to create a set of new attributes with the Attribute Creator. I would like to use the "import" option to bring the attributes from a CSV file. However, the transformer reads the attribute values as a "text" and not as Arimethic function (See picture for clarification ). Any idea on how to change that quickly?

Or any better idea to obtain the same result?

I mean create the following attributes:

 

Name Attribute

Y1 =A1+B1

Y2 =A2+B2

Y3 =A3+B3

Thanks in advance!.

You can use the function @Evaluate() to do this. 

Create a CSV like 

Name,Value
A,@Evaluate(1+1)

Click Import...

Select CSV

Choose import from Attribute values

Select Name for New Arribute and Value for Attribute Value.

Thank you. It's working now.
