+**Example of transformation**
+**Source table:** The longest rivers in the world
+^  River  ^  Length (km)  ^  Continent  ^
+| Nile  |  6650  |  Africa  |
+| Amazon  |  6400  |  South America  |
+| Yangtze  |  6300  |  Asia  |

+**Objective:** Find all rivers that are longer than 6000 km
+**Transformation parameters:**
+  * Column: Length (km)
+  * Expression: [Length (km)] > 6000
+**Output table:**
