It involves extracting data from various sources, transforming it into a usable format through cleansing, aggregation, and conversion, and finally loading it into a target system like a data warehouse or SQL database. This systematic approach ensures that raw data is refined into a reliable, organized format that supports effective decision-making and analytics. ![[ETL-Tutorial.png]] In this 3-part video series ETL Tutorial, we’ll walk you through each stage of the ETL process. The first video provides an introduction to what ETL is and how it works, and why [[MapForce]] is an efficient ETL tool. The second video takes a closer look at a very common use-case: a basic CSV to database ETL pipeline. And in the third video we will take a look at a more complex ETL example that requires cleaning and aggregating data from multiple CSV files before loading it into a database. This series is designed to equip you with practical insights and hands-on tips to master ETL in a straightforward, step-by-step manner.    --- # References - [[ETL]] Overview - https://www.altova.com/blog/what-is-etl/ - https://www.altova.com/mapforce/etl-tool
