  • Data transformation is the process of converting data or information from one format to another, usually from the format of a source system into the required format of a new destination system. Data Transformation summarizes, aggregates, and performs analytical calculations on data so it can be presented in meaningful and useful ways to users in the form of reports or dashboards.
