Convert Data Field Types with Functions

Each column in a Datameer workbook is assigned a specific data type. Particular criteria is required for data to fall into a data type category. When using your data within workbooks, certain Datameer functions only work with certain types of data. Also, certain functions return only a specific type of data.

These data types aren't fixed and can be changed within a workbook to fit your needs.
