BigQuery Error: No matching signature for function IFNULL

Getting error when using IFNULL Function?

Error: No matching signature for function IFNULL for argument types: STRING, INT64. 
Supported signature: IFNULL(ANY, ANY) at [4:9]

Solution:

While using the IFNULL function, make sure to have the same datatype as the column that you are checking nulls for. In the below example, if you are checking for NULLs in a string column, make sure to use a string data type as a substitution value as well

IFNULL(value.string_value, CAST(value.int_value AS STRING)) AS NewColumn
