Hello @Learner09 ,

 

You can do this with a multi field formula. Use the ToNumber([_CurrentField_]) formula and select that you want to change the data type.

 

This will perform the changes on all fields selected on the list.

@afv2688 Thanks for the help, but I know few columns V-String, a few double, and a few in Byte. The Solution you provided, changed all data types to one specific. Please suggest any other way so I can change the Data type according to the need. 

 

Thanks,

Hello @Learner09 ,

 

Unless there is some kind of specific rule to apply, you will need to change them manually into the desired ones.

 

Another option would be if you had a file with the specific data type needed for each column.

 

Maybe the auto field tool can help you further on the changes needed.

 

Regards
