3. Employee query: Remove null values or empty strings in Parent Employee
Key column.

4. Customer query: Transform the Postal Code column type to Text to

accommodate both numeric and text values.

5. Targets for 2020 query:

 Removes the Promoted Headers step and all subsequent steps.
 Remove the first three rows.
 Use the first row for the column names.
 Now you see that the last row is a total row, and the last column, Year
Target, is a total column. Please remove them.
 Unpivot month columns (from January to December).
 From column “Attribute”, add a column “Start of Month” to transform
month names into dates. Then, you get this:

 Change column type of “Start of Month” to Date.

 Move column “Start of Month” to the beginning.
 Rename column “Value” to “Target Excluding Tax”. The result is:

6. Target query:
 Add new column “Months” to get this:

 Extract the first four characters of column “Source.Name”, change column

type to whole number type, and you get this:

 From column “Source.Name”, add new column “Start of Month”, change

column type to date type, and get this:
= {1..12}
Expand to new row

 Just keep three columns like this:

 According to business rules, it’s all right to divide the yearly target evenly
across months for years. So, calculate Target Excluding Tax to get this:
