Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed the in-memory data sculpting tools that are available in Domo and how to decide which tool to use. Data Views are the most flexible and powerful but also the more complex to use. Then, there are Data Blends, which allow you to perform VLOOKUPs at scale. Additionally, Beast Modes are a powerful way to extend existing datasets with calculated fields. All of these tools work in the Adrenaline cache, so they are extremely fast. Finally, for those working with datasets with billions of rows, we made you aware of the Adrenaline DataFlows tool for handling data transformation at a mind-boggling scale. Having this in-memory data sculpting power is a key feature that democratizes the process so that an end user doesn't have to wait for specialized resources to assist.

In the next chapter, we will move up from the data transformation layer to the data visualization layer features of the platform, including dashboards.
