Excel Reader transformation behaviour

Hi,

in some cases the new Excel Reader nodes have a strange behaviour with the number transformations.
If I have two columns:
grafik

One contains only full numbers 1,2
The other also has decimals.

Then the transformation can cast the full numbers only to integer and long.
And the decimals only to double:


In my case I have a exchange rate column (which I set to double)
Now I have one file which contains only full numbers in the rate - and it cannot cast it to double and will fail :frowning:

Not sure if that is intended - would expect it to be able to cast any number to any format?

Hello,
thanks for reporting this problem We will introduce converter from int and long to double (internal ticket number AP-15871) with KNIME Analytics Platform 4.4. which will be released in summer.
Bye
Tobias
