ETL process – what is it?
The ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) process is one of the most important elements of Business Intelligence implementations. It allows us to integrate data from all our systems, applications and collect it in one place.
Extract – extracting data from a specific source.
Data can be obtained by, among other things:
– connecting the source system to the database, – making data available by the source system, e.g. in the form of flat files and database tables,
API – Application Programming Interface, thanks to which it is possible to download data from a particular period
Transform – transformation. It involves the transformation of data into such a form that it can be analyzed correctly. The process of data processing is performed by means of operations like: Pivoting (converting rows to columns or columns to rows), aggregating data, cleaning, merging, unifying, joining and filtering.
Load – loading. This is the last step thanks to which the data will be loaded into the output form, e.g. Tableau extracts or database tables.

Technologies we use:
Tableau Prep
– It has many features that simplify the process of data cleaning, grouping and quick editing, without the need for coding skills. All functionalities are very easy to use, thanks to the ‘drag&drop’ method. Tableau Prep graphically shows each step during the transformation of data. We can save the entire change process so that we don’t need to do it again in the future. Tableau Prep is an easy-to-use ETL tool that any user with no database experience will get the most out of.

Power Query
– Power Query is an add-on from Microsoft that allows you to easily perform actions that until now were reserved only for Excel masters and VBA developers. Power Query is also used to retrieve and transform data for analysis in BL tools. Query automation is done without VBA which allows automatic data refreshing.

ETL vs ELT process
In addition to ETL processes, there are also ELT processes. ETL is the acquisition, transformation, and loading of data, while the ELT process is the loading of data into the staging area first, followed by the ETL-related processes of transformation and loading into the target table schema.Contact with us >
