Using Joins and Update Queries to Create Markers in the Data
Learn how to keep orders organized and accurate with joins and update queries. In this Data Survival Skills session, Robin works with Leaf & Mortar’s orders from both stores and pop-up shops. Starting with a master order table, she imports the pop-up shop data, links it using order numbers, and updates a new field to flag each record. She then applies the same process across multiple sources, ensuring every dataset follows consistent rules. Finally, she fills in the remaining orders as store sales, creating a fully flagged dataset that’s ready for comparison. This method makes analysis repeatable, reliable, and easier to scale—helping you make confident, data-driven decisions.
