55. Why is it important to clean data? - ETL
The data in the warehouse is used for important analysis and reporting. Cleaning data means finding similarities in the information so that it can be categorized correctly. This will increase the efficiency of the analysis. For example, data that contains the word ‘store’ and ‘stores’ might fall into separate groupings because they are not exactly the same.
