get together file Excel in a single file with two types in a same column

Hello

 

I have two input Excel files  : one file in String, and an other in Double.

I want gather together these files in a single Excel file. But the matter is : the output file is in a type.

 

The first file is : 

Column A(String)    Column B(String)   Column C(String)          Column D(String)

Month                           January                    February                     March

 

The second file : 

Column A (String)   Column B(Double)   Column C(Double)          Column D (Double)

ListA                        1573,12                      1335,24                               1114,58

ListB                           954,12                      2124,14                                1254,36

 

 

 I want have this output file : 

Column A(String)    Column B(String +Double)   Column C(String+Double)          Column D(String+Double)

Month                      January                                      February                                  March 

ListA                        1573,12                                        1335,24                                    1114,58

ListB                           954,12                                        2124,14                                  1254,36

 

I tried to use the component tUnite or tMap but I can't have two types in a single file (String and Double). 

 

This is error log of tUnite.

Error in the component's properties:Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Double

Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Double

Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Double

Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Double

Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Double

Type mismatch: cannot convert from String to Double

 

Thanks in advance !!!!!

Hi,

 

try to convert second file columns to string before tUnite and connect to tUnite as string.

The matter is : Excel read that as a text if i put all in string.

I need the values to make a graph, so in double....

 

It's a big matter.

How append data for the second flow? There is a option to check?
