Chapter 6: Data Flows in Azure Data Factory
In this chapter, we'll look at two data flow activities: the mapping data flow and the wrangling data flow. Data flow activities provide a code-free way to implement transformations on the fly as and when data is being processed.
Incremental data loading is a very common scenario wherein data from a source is incrementally loaded to a destination. There are multiple ways to implement incremental data flows. This chapter provides an implementation of incremental data loading that you can use in your environment as and when required.
The wrangling data flow provides a code-free UI that can be used to clean and transform data using Power Query. This makes it easy for non-developers to implement data transformation and cleaning and create data pipelines quickly.
In this chapter, we'll cover the following recipes:
- Implementing incremental data loading with a mapping data flow
- Implementing a wrangling data flow
