Re: Data Transformation Best Practices
It depends on the type of transformation -- for simpler transformations that aren't resource-intensive or live data transformations, I'll have the BI tool do the lifting. For complex transformations with multiple steps or transformations that are time or resource-intensive, I'll do the work on the warehouse end.2.8KViews0likes0CommentsRe: What is the one thing you do to get the best insights from your data and tell stories using Sisense?
I try to always present a point of reference and explanations. For example, if I have a chart that displays percent growth year over year, I'll also include the scope of the growth (whether that +15% means +200 or +2,000,000). Below that, I'll list out the major contributing variables and a more detailed analysis by line of business so that the user can easily see what is driving that growth without having to navigate to another view.2.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How do you administer your Sisense installation?
Hello! For usage related data, I normally query the built-in Sisense Usage Stats. You can find more details here: https://documentation.sisense.com/8-8/administration/usage-analytics/usageoverview.htm#gsc.tab=0 Or, for CDT: https://dtdocs.sisense.com/article/usage-data-queries There's a lot of gold in there!2.7KViews1like0Comments
