Incompatible datatypes in source and target dataset in aep

[Sushmita32]

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,"")
Link to get the details of all the DataPrep functions available with examples:
