Multiplies two numbers and emits the product as a decimal. Pair with Add, Subtract, or Divide to build longer arithmetic chains.

​
Configuration

  • X — first factor. Wire the input port, or type a literal in the inspector. nil is treated as 1, so passing nil leaves the other operand unchanged.
  • Y — second factor. Same rules as X.

​
Matching over time

Both inputs are timelines, so each entry of X is paired with the Y entry in effect on its date. When both timelines are siloed by the same IDs — two fields off the same salary row, say — the pairing also matches on ID, and an X entry whose silo has no Y entry is left unmultiplied. When the IDs are unrelated, or Y has none at all, only the date is matched: a single org property or literal multiplies every entry of X regardless of which silo it belongs to. If several of Y’s silos are in effect on the same date there is no right answer, and the node raises rather than guess.

​
List behaviour

Same-length lists multiply element-wise. A scalar multiplies each element of a list. Mismatched list lengths raise an error.
