Easy Data Transform does not require you to explicitly set column types. But different transforms might interpret a column as text, numeric or date, as appropriate. For example, intelligent sort in the Sort transform will infer whether a column is text, date or numeric from the values in the column, and sort it accordingly. This approach is very flexible and can save you a lot of time.

 

Note that you can explicitly set a column type when exporting to Excel or JSON files.
