The easiest way to remove this is with a Formula tool. Your expression would look like this:

 

replace([field], '<tr>','')

What are you trying to parse specifically?

 

Can you upload a "before" and "after" of the dataset?

Try using RegEx. The following should work: <td>(\d.*)<

 

You can then use the data cleansing to remove the commas.

Are you able to upload the file? The regex I provided should work based on the screenshot.

 

Otherwise, I unfortunately can't really help provided the limited context.

You posted the .yxmd, this is just the workflow (settings). It does not contain any data. Can you upload the actual .csv?
