Actionable information with calculated columnsOperare sulle informazioni tramite le colonne calcolate

Create a calculated columnYou just finished listening to a really expensive Business Intelligence consultant tell you that you need to invest in an even more expensive data warehouse to reduce the load on your incredibly expensive ERP system. The reason you need to do this is that you need to use some data that is not directly available in your data sources but has to be calculated. You have three options:

  • Do nothing and hope that downtime for the ERP system just goes away.
  • Spend buckets of cash and hope for the best.
  • Log on to Monster and start looking for a new job.

Oh yeah you could just use Vizubi. With Vizubi you can create calculated columns after the import phase which are saved directly into your database. You can share the database with other users so that they don’t have to calculate the values again. This means that you get high performance without burdening your other systems. Vizubi’s calculated columns support a series of operations from simply adding or multiplying the values from two columns to extracting strings from fields and calculating new time dimensions.

Creare una colonna calcolataSi ha appena terminato di ascoltare una consulenza molto costosa sulla Business Intelligence che spiega di aver bisogno di investire in un data warehouse ancora più caro per ridurre il carico di lavoro sul proprio sistema ERP. Questo accade perchè si ha bisogno di usare alcuni dati che non sono direttamente disponibili nella fonte di acquisizione ma necessitano di essere calcolati. Per farlo ci sono tre opzioni:

  • non fare nulla e sperare che tutto si sistemi da solo;
  • spendere un “sacco di soldi” e sperare che tutto vada per il meglio;
  • registrarsi a monster.it e iniziare a cercare un nuovo lavoro.

Con Vizubi è possibile creare colonne calcolate dopo la fase di importazione che le salva direttamente all’interno del database e si può condividere il database con altri utenti così che non debbano ricalcolarsi i valori nuovamente, il che significa che si hanno alte performance senza sovraccaricare gli altri sistemi. Le colonne calcolate di Vizubi supportano una serie di operazioni che spazia dalla semplice addizione o moltiplicazione di valori di due colonne fino all’estrazione di stringhe da campi e il ricalcolo di nuove colonne calcolate.
