while fetching Coronavirus Cases, Deaths, and Recovered from [https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/](https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) in my GUI automation workflow , the values are coming as String type—how can I convert them to Integer to perform calculations?

You can do this using the **Rename Field** step.

**Steps:**

1. Add a **Rename Field** step in the workflow.

2. Go to the **Metadata** tab.

3. Select the fields (e.g., _Coronavirus Cases, Deaths, Recovered_) whose data type needs to be changed.

4. Change the **data type from String to Integer**.

Hi Pushkraj.

Be sure that string has no non digit characters and no punctuation
