Data modules - How to create a data module from uploaded files (11.2.2)

Data modules are where you prepare data coming from many sources for analysis and visualization. Data modules enable a business user to quickly and easily combine enterprise, departmental, spreadsheet and external data. When a zip file is the data source, Cognos Analytics analyzes the files and establish relationships between tables. In this video the Coffee_sales.zip file will be used as the initial data source for the data module. You will see how automatic join detection works, how to add an additional source of data, how to use split, data group and clean functions, how to create and use a navigation path, how to apply a currency format to a column and how to create and use filters.
