UNDERSTANDING DATA FOR SHAPING

==========================

State Map:
-------------
State Map is a master table similar to Geography table in DW Projects.
Usually contains country, state, distiricts, city etc... information.
The city column used in Funding Sheet.

Changes required:

a) Remove in the city column the statename followed by .

b) Remove duplicates in the city
c) Remove duplicates in the city and state combination

Funding table:
----------------

Funding table is like Fact / measure group table which has measurable information
and uses the State Map data for detailed drill down analysis [hierarchical
analysis].

Ex: Country wise, state wise ...

In the above State Map, city is the low grain object [lowest level of data].

So all upper levels of data [State] can be easily tracked and analysed.

Note: Usually loading level day gain is the lowest level

Remove or handle blanks from permalink --> Replace with Unknown

Data space issues in the names of companies [Cleansing] -->split with space, merge
columns
Remove or handle blanks from Employees Count --Replace with 0
Remove or handle blanks from Category --Replace with Unknown
Remove or handle blanks from City--Replace with Unknown
FundedDate format to date column--Change data type to DateTime

MODELING DATA
===========
ENSURE 1- MANY RELATIONSHIP HAPPENING BETWEEN STATE AND FUNDING.

Deliverables Expected:
-------------------------

1. Integration of two sheets -- Merge based on City column

2. Data cleansing, missing value treatment --

3.Design a report and dashboard with the given details

LifeLock, and Meevee.
b) Top 5 fund raisers in each year
c) Find out and show raised amount for each round in every city

and compare with employee count trend.
e) Permanlink and company wise, state and city wise total fund raise amount
f) States and number of unknown citities, unknown categories displays
g) Display map with states which are top 5 fund raisers
