When i tried to convert 12345A, 34566C, 84834A Values to Text it is giving me error "[DataFormat.Error] We couldn't convert to Number.12345A" in google they are suggesting to split the column into Number and Text separately which i dont want, is there any alternative?

Post the Advanced Editor code and a sample of the data please.  I suspect the error is from a previous line, not the conversion to Text.
