User Story:
As a data analyst who frequently works with strings that look like numbers for example 00 or 08404, it would be useful to have a formula function like asBool() or asDate() that would keep auto typing from happening and enter these values in a column as a string not a number.
Conditions of Satisfaction:
- Clear documentation on the new feature.
- Does not break existing formulas (or breaks as few as possible.)
Notes:
- This might be called something like asStr() or update strval() to work on calculated value or constant values not just column references as it appears to work now.
