  • 0

i’ve been trying to rack my brain for this term but I just can’t think of it. The description of it is as follows…

say I have a database in which a column is the day of the week and it contains plain text days of the week (ie Monday, Tuesday etc).

in order to make this column analyzable, I want to convert each day of the week to a number (so for all entries that have Monday it would change to 1, for those that are Tuesday it would change to 2 etc).

could anyone share some knowledge on what the term is I’m talking about?

Thanks alot.
