Hi, new user here.
I have a spreadsheet with about 20 columns of data. Is there a quick way to verify the number of characters in the data for each column? Some columns can have less than the maximum allowed characters (name, address, etc), but some need to be an exact character count (10 digit account number, 9 digit tax ID, etc). After my input tool, I've added a select tool to change the data type to String and to set the max size for each column.
Thank you!
Convert all of your fields to data type String, if needed
or add function ToString around your numeric fields
Then use a Multi-Field Formula tool, select all of the Text fields, and use a Formula like
Length([_CurrentField_])
Then you could use a Dynamic Select with a formula to pick only the fields that start with "Length_"
Then use a Transpose tool then Filter tool to select only the Length values you're interested in

This was helpful, especially the Multi-Field Formula tool. Thank you!
