To expand upon Kalvareo's reply, any text function operated on a number value will convert that value to text. I typically use Trim() in a calc stage for doing this. Example: Trim([number]) will convert it to text. This method shows the conversion in the code, rather than relying on knowing that the destination data item is of Text type, which is required with VJR's solution. His solution is quick and efficient, but I'm just offering another option for you.
