## About

Returns the text representation of `value`. The `value` can be a `number`, `date`, `time`, `datetime`, `datetimezone`, `logical`, `duration` or `binary` value. If the given value is null, `Text.From` returns null. An optional `culture` may also be provided (for example, "en-US").

## Example 1

**Usage**

```powerquery-m
Text.From(3)
```
