Hi guys! I did the code below and it worked perfectly in terms of presentation timings etc. and data storage. The only thing that I want is that the output of my column ‘Response_Images.rt’ is of int type, and not of string type. How can I do this? If that’s not possible, do you know how I could open the csv file in python later on and convert only that specific column from str into int?
