Importance of Data
Transformation
Overview:
Raw data is often incomplete, inconsistent, or
not analysis-ready. Data transformation is
critical to convert raw data into meaningful,
structured, and usable formats.
Key Points:
Enables data quality, consistency, and usability.
Prepares data for analysis, visualization, and
machine learning.
Supports data-driven decision-making and
business insights.
Introduction to Data Transformation
in the Cloud
Overview:
Introduces the concept of data transformation
within the context of the data lifecycle in the cloud.
Key Concepts:
Data Journey: From raw data collection to insights.
Preparation Scope: Involves cleaning, structuring,
and enriching data.
Cloud Benefits: Scalability, accessibility, and
efficiency.
Tools & Methods: Cloud Storage, BigQuery, and
Handle Raw Data with Data
Pipelines
Overview:
Focuses on automating and scaling data
transformation using data pipelines.
Key Concepts:
What is a Data Pipeline?: A sequence of steps
to collect, process, and store data.
Pipeline Phases: Ingest, transform, validate, and
store.
Hands-on Learning: Building a basic SQL-based
pipeline.
Cloud Data Optimization
Strategies
Overview:
Applies advanced transformation strategies
to improve data quality and performance.
Key Concepts:
Data Cleaning: Removing duplicates, nulls,
and fixing types.
Derived Data Creation: Using
transformations to compute new fields.
Summary Metrics: Aggregation and
business intelligence readiness.
Joins and Merging: Unifying data from

Cloud Dataprep
• Overview:
This assignment involved using Cloud Dataprep to
clean and prepare raw data for analysis in a no-code
environment.
• Key Actions Performed:
• Removed Duplicates: Ensured data accuracy by
eliminating repeated entries.
• Split Columns: Broke complex values into individual
parts for easier analysis.
• Changed Data Types: Converted values into
Conclusion
