In this lesson, you'll learn the three main types of data cleanup — columns, rows, and values — and get prompting tips to get the best results when cleaning data in Parabola.

  Before combining your data sets, clean both files so each one only contains the columns you need.

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Copy and paste this prompt into Parabola to clean your Shopify inventory data">
      ```text wrap theme={null}
      I want to clean my Shopify inventory data. Keep only these columns and rename them:
      - "Product: Title" → "Product Title"
      - "Variants: Title" → "Variant Title"
      - "Variants: Sku" → "SKU"
      - "Variants: Inventory Quantity" → "Shopify Quantity"
      ```
    </Step>

    <Step title="Copy and paste this prompt into Parabola to clean your NetSuite inventory data">
      ```text wrap theme={null}
      I want to clean my NetSuite inventory data.

      Keep only the following columns:
      - "SKU"
      - "In-Stock"

      Rename "In-Stock" to "NetSuite Quantity".

      Then remove the "R-" prefix from all values in the "SKU" column.
      ```
    </Step>
