Convert data type from string to float.

Does anyone know how to convert a data type from string to float? The data itself is a name. I have the below flow created so far. I am trying to have this flow upload data to a sharepoint list. However, the flow is having problems inputting the user data column into the user column in sharepoint. In sharepoint, the user column is a dynamic input and when entering text it starts to auto search active directory for the user.2023-05-18 10_51_57-Alteryx Designer x64 - SCCM Inactive Client Status_AJ_modified.yxmd_.png2023-05-18 10_52_40-Alteryx Designer x64 - SCCM Inactive Client Status_AJ_modified.yxmd_.png2023-05-18 10_53_27-Alteryx Designer x64 - SCCM Inactive Client Status_AJ_modified.yxmd_.png2023-05-18 10_53_41-Alteryx Designer x64 - SCCM Inactive Client Status_AJ_modified.yxmd_.png

Short answer is that you cannot convert that type of string to a float. Floats are for numbers only.

What format is the user column in sharepoint?

If its not formatted as text, you should be able to change the column settings from being a number to being a single line of text instead.
