1. In your Pipeline, open the required [Action](/pipelines/actions.md) configuration and select the input **Field**.
2. In the **Operation** field, choose **Divide**.
3. Set **Delimiter** to **Colon**.
4. Give your **Output field** a name and click **Save**. You'll get the division results. For example:

```
Input data - "26:2:4"

Delimiter - Colon 

Output data - 3.25
```
