Definitely not option D, that won't work.

Wait, can you really join different data types like that?

Isn't it risky to change data types mid-process?

You need to change the field type first before blending.

I’m confused about the order. I thought we could do a Join first, but now I’m not so sure if that’s the best approach.

I vaguely recall that we should always match the data types before performing joins. So, I think option C sounds right to me.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like adding a Filter first might complicate things. I think we usually change the field type before any joins.

I remember we practiced something similar where we had to change data types before blending. I think using Manage Fields first makes sense.

Ah, I see the issue - the data types don't match up. I'll need to use a Manage Fields to convert one of them before I can blend the data. Shouldn't be too difficult, just need to remember the right order of the steps.

Okay, I've got this. I'll use a Manage Fields step to convert the Employee ID field to the same data type, then I can Union or Join the two data sources. Simple!

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I think I need to change the field type first, but I'm not sure if I should do that before or after the Union/Join. I'll have to review the module on data prep.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the steps carefully to get the data types aligned before blending.

A) Add a Manage Fields to change the field type and then Union. Easy peasy, just the way I like it. No need to get fancy, folks.

C) Add first a Manage Fields to change the field type and then Join. Ah, the classic 'transform before joining' approach. Bold move, I like it!

B) Add a Filter first and then a Manage Fields to change the field type. Hmm, I don't know, that seems a bit roundabout. Why not just go with option A and keep it simple?

I see both points, but personally I would choose option D) Add a Join first and then a Manage Fields to change the field type for better data blending.

D) Add a Join first and then a Manage Fields to change the field type. Gotta love a good ol' join before transforming the data. That's the way to do it!
