Just starting out with Lavastorm... (2nd day!)

I am trying to enrich my data set using the lookup node.

I believe that it is failing as one set is string and the other is long. How can I convert a column of data from Long to String?

Hi, Josh! Welcome to the forum! There are two ways:

1. Use a filter to convert from one type to the other. So let's say A is a string and B is a long. Then Anew = A.long() will convert A to a long.
2. If you're using Lookup, you could actually keep the data types the same, but change the key's format within the node. So for example, using the A and B from above, you can use A.long() as either the Input/Lookup Key and then B (already a long) as the other.

Both worked great.

Here I thought I would try and give you a break from the daily emails, but you found me on the forum as well!

Appreciate the help!
