Data Types

[Shi]

Hi everybody!  Loading data from a CSV or QVD file, it might be possible get in the final table showed in the data manager, have different data types or date format  in the same field (column)? Or this kind of situation is impossible? Because the data source can have every possible format, but in the end in the data manager everything should be made consistent. Thank you a lot!

not compltly clear. you mean a column can have multiple formats which you want to consolidate into a single format.

i dont think data manager can do that. it will just make the column into text and keep the source format

you should be able to do so using data load editor with code specific to your requirement
