Changing the data types for all fields

Hi

Is there a way of changing the data types of all columns without clicking into all of the fields in the select tool?

 

I have maybe 100 fields that I need to change to v_string and wondering if there is a faster way

 

Thanks

Hi @BillyL14 ,

 

Try AutoField tool.

 

It automictically converts into best match datatype

Hello @BillyL14 ,

 

try connecting to multifield formula tool and configure like the below screenshot.

And for a third solution, you can use the Select tool to Select-> Select All, and change all data types for these fields:

Hi @BillyL14 

 

I can see that @ImadZidan and @Per is the best approach in solving the scenario.

 

Do not consider mine. It doesn't completely solve the given scenario.

 

Cheers and Happy Analysing : )
