Table.TransformColumnTypes

Applies type transformation(s) of the form { column, type } using a specific culture.

Syntax​

Table.TransformColumnTypes(
    table as table,
    typeTransformations as list,
    optional culture as text
) as table

Remarks​

Returns a table from the input table by applying the transform operation to the columns specified in the parameter typeTransformations (where format is { column name, type name}), using the specified culture in the optional parameter culture (for example, "en-US"). If the column doesn't exist, an exception is thrown.

Examples​

Example #1​

Transform the number values in column [a] to text values from the table <code>({[a = 1, b = 2], [a = 3, b = 4]})</code>.

Table.TransformColumnTypes(
    Table.FromRecords({
        [a = 1, b = 2],
        [a = 3, b = 4]
    }),
    {"a", type text},
    "en-US"
)

Result:

Table.FromRecords({
    [a = "1", b = 2],
    [a = "3", b = 4]
})
