enables analysts, data specialists, and other domain experts to quickly cleanse and transform datasets of varying sizes for use throughout the enterprise. Using an innovative set of web-based tools, you can import complex datasets and wrangle them for use in virtually any target system. Key capabilities include:

• Import from flat file, databases, or distributed storage systems

• Locate and remove or modify missing or mismatched data 
• Unnest complex data structures
• Identify statistical outliers in your data for review and management
• Perform lookups from one dataset into another reference dataset
• Aggregate columnar data using a variety of aggregation functions
• Normalize column values for more consistent usage and statistical modeling
• Merge datasets with joins
• Append one dataset to another through union operations

Most of these operations can be executed with a few mouse clicks. This section provides a basic overview of common workflows through .
