Example: Standardize different formats

Imagine your TaskBots saves number of followers to your data table. However, the platform of your choice displays the number of followers in a format like "7k" (which stands for 7000). And this can lead to problems if, for example, you want to qualify only those leads that have a certain amount of followers.

• Step 1: Use Format Data with action Remove Words to remove "k".

• Step 2: Use Update Data building block with action Multiply to multiply by 1000.
