Transformations: Expression Based Transformation

This document discusses transformations, which are objects used for time series analysis and comparing current data to previous data for business analysis. Transformations are commonly used for time-based analysis like year-over-year or month-to-date comparisons. There are two main types of transformations: expression-based transformations, which apply arithmetic or mathematical functions; and table-based transformations, which store calculated values in a transformation table. The "where" clause of SQL queries is affected when adding transformations to reports, resulting in more passes being required. For one attribute, one metric, and one transformation metric, the SQL query would require three passes.

Transformations

Transformation is an object which is used for time series analysis.


When we need to compare current data to previous data for better business analysis we go
for transformations.
Transformations are Most Commonly used for Time-based analysis such as This Year/Last
year Comparisons or Month to date Calculations.
Another reporting Challenge is Monday to Monday analysis.
Transformations are included as part of the Definition of Metric. Multiple Transformations
may be applied to a metric simultaneously, but it is more common to see a single
Transformation in a Metrics definition. Like Metric conditions, Transformations can be
applied to Simple or Nested Metrics.
Transformations are helpful in data mining.
There are 2 types of Transformations
1. Expression Based Transformation
2. Table based transformation

Expression Based Transformation


When we apply arithmetic operations, mathematical functions for the table based transformations
such type of transformations are called as expression based transformation
An expression Based Transformation is defined using any Valid SQL.
Table based transformation
Whenever the values calculated are stored in a table which is specifically designed for
transformation such a transformation is a table based transformation

21. Which part of SQL is effected when we put transformations in a report


Ans. Where clause is affected and number of passes are more on the report using
transformations
22. one attribute, one metric, one transformation metric how many passes we can see in sql ?

Ans. 3
