Transforming Data
In the fast-paced world of data-driven decision-making, the ability to transform raw data into valuable insights is a critical competitive advantage. This is part of the foundation of analytics work: enabling organizations to extract meaningful information from vast and complex datasets.
In Chapter 5, Data Modeling, we learned about the benefits and techniques of data modeling. A well-designed data model guides the transformation process that turns raw data into ready-to-use data.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Transforming data – the foundation of analytics work
- Design choices
- Tools that facilitate data transformations
