How to convert an integer to a text

LaurentS

Hello,

I am seeking for the equivalent syntax / method or Dataiku to convert an integer in a text. I am seeking for the equivalent python syntax "str(integer_value)" to be used in Dataiku

Thanks and kindest regards

Hi Laurent,

I assume you are looking for a way to convert integer to text in DSS formula? For example as part of Prepare recipe correct?

https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/formula/index.html

There are 2 functions that should help here :

toString(column_name)

strval("column_name") #must use quotes for strval

Please note toString will drop leading 0's as explained here

By default, we will try auto-detect the meaning but you can change this to "Text" manually.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks !
