How do you get rid of conversion errors?

 

My workflow works fine as well as my conversions, but I keep getting error notifications.

Hi @calvincarr29 

 

1. Also you might be trying to convert String to Date format.

Where all the data's in the column might not be Date.

 

2. Also you might try to convert from Int to Byte.

 

Many possible are there.

 

Many thanks

Hi @calvincarr29 

 

Your input might contain Alphabets or Special characters other than 'Full stop'

Please check whether you have characters in your dataset where you are converting to Double.

 

Many thanks

@ShankerV  I figured out what it was. I had two select tools with conflicting data.
