Basic transformations improve data quality by removing errors, emptying data fields, or simplifying data. Examples of these transformations follow.

Data cleansing removes errors and maps source data to the target data format. For example, you can map empty data fields to the number 0, map the data value “Parent” to “P,” or map “Child” to “C.”

Deduplication in data cleansing identifies and removes duplicate records.

Format revision converts data, such as character sets, measurement units, and date/time values, into a consistent format. For example, a food company might have different recipe databases with ingredients measured in kilograms and pounds. ETL will convert everything to pounds.

Advanced transformations use business rules to optimize the data for easier analysis. Examples of these transformations follow.

Derivation applies business rules to your data to calculate new values from existing values. For example, you can convert revenue to profit by subtracting expenses or calculating the total cost of a purchase by multiplying the price of each item by the number of items ordered.

In data preparation, joining links the same data from different data sources. For example, you can find the total purchase cost of one item by adding the purchase value from different vendors and storing only the final total in the target system.

You can divide a column or data attribute into multiple columns in the target system. For example, if the data source saves the customer name as “Jane John Doe,” you can split it into a first, middle, and last name.

Black Lives Matter is a movement that started in the United States and has spread around the world. Racist discrimination has cost the life of more than one person, so eradication of this type of discrimination is the goal.

The video game industry got involved immediately and large companies like Microsoft and Sony have made their position clear: they support the movement and will not tolerate racist attitudes within their community.

The sanction of Ryan Ramirez, better known as 'Filipino Champ', did not surprise most.

It was all the result of a tweet by the professional player, who published a photo of a watermelon with the hashtag #WatermelonLivesMatter (Watermelon Lives Matter), obviously as a mockery, of a phrase that has served as a banner so that fewer people Afro-descendants are raped or murdered.

There is a stereotype that African-Americans in the United States have a similar appetite for watermelons to that for fried chicken.

This was written with the intention of making fun of the movement.

He was banned from participating in all events by the companies for violating the code of conduct for players.
