Combining, shaping and cleansing data are key to preparing data to be analyzed in the best possible way. Learn some tips to speed up this process quickly and easily.
The expansion of data analysis in business is unstoppable. In recent years, the capacity to collect, process and analyze information has increased, spreading to practically all areas. Everything seems to indicate that this trend will continue to grow over the years.
One of the challenges for this situation lies in preparing a correct data flow to make the most and best use of the available information. Here are some tips to speed up the process of preparing data flows.
Use the right data | The more data you bring into your data preparation flow, the more computationally expensive it will be. A simple, yet powerful way to run a good flow is to only work with the data you need.
Identify flow targets | The recommendation is to break the information into separate flows to organize the work because it is not necessary for cleanup operations to live in a single flow. Individual steps or even entire flows can be put together later.
Leverage incremental update | With incremental extracts it is possible to set up flows to update gradually, which means that new rows will only be retrieved when data is updated.
