An administrator is setting up a data stream with transactional dat

a. What field type should the administrator choose to ensure that leading zeros in the purchase order number are preserved?

ANumber

BDecimal

CText

DSerial

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The Text field type should be chosen to preserve leading zeros in the purchase order number, as this field type stores alphanumeric characters as strings. The Number and Decimal field types store numeric values as numbers, which would remove any leading zeros. The Serial field type is not a valid field type in Data Cloud. Reference: [Field Types]

I would go with Text field type too, to make sure leading zeros are preserved in the purchase order number.

But Number field type will remove leading zeros, which is not desirable in this case.

D. Serial? What is this, the 1990s? Text is the only way to go if you want to preserve those precious zeros.
