Hi,

I have a source dataset(data coming from salesforce) which has a field of type integer but in my target dataset i have created and mapped the same field of type string and i also want it of type string which will result in datatype mismatch and batches will fail.How can I obtain the data in string format?

    Hi @sushmita32 ,

    Use DataPrep function and enclose the field value with double quotes to convert the column value to string.


    Function- concat("",column_name,"")
