Project and Task in DOMO:

Domo Data Center: Once in the Data Center, you’ll see the Data Warehouse, DataSets, DataFlows, and Accounts. 

When you need to run multiple actions on your data and don't want to have to go through DataSets or DataFlows one by one, use the Bulk actions in the DataCenter. When you hover over a DataSet

Easily manage the Beast Modes in your Domo instance all in one place. 

The Advanced Tools Launch Center allows you to explore all the data tools Domo has to offer in one convenient place. From connecting and transforming your data to managing your Domo instance,


What is Data?

data is a collection of discrete values that convey information, describing the quantityqualityfactstatistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted


Types of Data:

Number, Text, Datetimes, Date, Boolean


Data is measure in two form:

Quantitative:

Numerical data: revenue, price, height, age, score

Qualitative:

Categorical: name, color, job title 


Missing Data?

Imagine you have a table containing company sales data but some cells are missing values. Cells with missing values are considered null. Keep in mind, however, null does not equal zero and null does not equal null.


Relational Data

As we mentioned in our null example, Data is stored in tables consisting of rows and columns. 

Fact Table vs. Dimension Table

Data are often presented in multiple tables rather than a single table with all the associated information.

Cardinality

Often, data from multiple tables will need to be compared or combined to answer a particular business question. Cardinality describes the nature of the relationships between records in separate tables. 


Types of Cardinality:

One to Many or Many to One: This is the most common type of cardinality and means one of the tables has unique values per each row while the other one has multiple values.


Many to Many:

Many-to-many cardinality is a relationship between two sets of data where multiple elements in one set can correspond to multiple in the other set. 

For example, many patients may see the same doctor. Many doctors may see the same patient.


One to one: One-to-one cardinality is a relationship between two sets where each element of the first set corresponds to exactly one element of the second set, and vice versa. In other words, there is a unique and singular relationship between the two sets.

This cardinality type is normally used to make data more concise or separate dimensions into multiple tables.

Example: One employee assigned to one company car.

Granularity

Aggregation: Aggregating allows us to trade detail for a desired granularity (and uniqueness). That’s because, by definition, the columns we group by uniquely define each row in the resulting aggregated dataset
