Scenario:

As a social media manager, you would like to capture and count hashtags (#) that appear in posts on your platform.

 

Your goal is to build a workflow that catalogues each hashtag used, identifies which user ID posted the hashtag, and counts how many times those hashtags appear.

Represent this information in a cross-tab view grouped by hashtag.

Hint: Use the RegEx tool to tokenize the extracted hashtags.
