    Converting numbers to text strings

    If you append &"" to a formula working with numbers, then it will convert that value to a string in Airtable. As a reminder, the &operator is equivalent to the CONCATENATE() function. This means you can also add "" to a CONCATENATE() function in order to convert a value to a string.

    {Number field's name} & ""

    CONCATENATE({Number field's name} , "")
