What is numbers to text in Google Sheets?
Numbers To Text is a data cleanup or sheet operation in Google Sheets: trimming text, splitting columns, removing duplicates, or fixing separators. Cleanup steps usually happen before analysis formulas run.

When to skip it
Skip one-off cleanup when the source system can export clean columns in the first place.
