[SOLVED] Converting Numerical to Nominal data types, with content replaced

Hello All,
I'm new to RapidMiner and while I was experimenting with it, I was not sure of how to do the following process....

I'm making use of Golf Data in Samples provided.
I want to convert the temperature & humidity to nominal form i.e.,
temp <=75 => cool
temmp > 75 and temp <= 85 => medium
temp > 85 hot
similarly with humidity.
i tried to use the numerical to nominal option, but it doesn't seem to work that way.
Is there an option to use?
Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    you can use the "Generate Attributes" operator for that. Because you are changing a numerical attribute to a nominal one, you cannot overwrite the same attribute, so you have to create a new one. The old one could be removed via "Select Attributes". See the following example process: 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    <process version="5.3.013">
      <context>
        <input/>
        <output/>
        <macros/>
      </context>
      <operator activated="true" class="process" compatibility="5.3.013" expanded="true" name="Process">
        <process expanded="true">
          <operator activated="true" class="retrieve" compatibility="5.3.013" expanded="true" height="60" name="Retrieve Golf" width="90" x="45" y="30">
            <parameter key="repository_entry" value="//Samples/data/Golf"/>
          </operator>
          <operator activated="true" class="generate_attributes" compatibility="5.3.013" expanded="true" height="76" name="Generate Attributes" width="90" x="179" y="30">
            <list key="function_descriptions">
              <parameter key="Temperature_Nominal" value="if (Temperature&lt;=75, &quot;cool&quot;, if (Temperature&gt;=85, &quot;hot&quot;, &quot;medium&quot;))"/>
            </list>
          </operator>
          <connect from_op="Retrieve Golf" from_port="output" to_op="Generate Attributes" to_port="example set input"/>
          <connect from_op="Generate Attributes" from_port="example set output" to_port="result 1"/>
          <portSpacing port="source_input 1" spacing="0"/>
          <portSpacing port="sink_result 1" spacing="0"/>
          <portSpacing port="sink_result 2" spacing="0"/>
        </process>
      </operator>
    </process>
    Regards,
