Connecting to data and establishing relationships to build a data model does not mean that you're ready to start analyzing or visualizing data. Data sources often contain extraneous, unwanted, or unneeded information, or information that needs to be adjusted in some way for analysis. In this lesson, you will perform cleaning, profiling, and shaping to prepare your semantic models for analysis and visualization.
