    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.
