Chapter 8. Recipe in Einstein

While working with data, there are times where we realize that we have added a lot of unnecessary fields and data and we need to follow the process of removing them. We also need to add new fields to the same dataset where we have missed a required field or, in the future, if we need to add a new one. This is called data preparation and it is easier with Einstein Analytics. In this chapter, we are going to concentrate on the following topics:

  • The dataset recipe
  • Preparing data
  • Combining two datasets and creating a new one
  • The scheduling recipe
  • Exporting datasets from Einstein using datasetUtils
