Einstein Analytics Data Preparation Specialist Superbadge - 7

We are almost done with the Einstein Analytics Data Preparation Superbadge! Only one step left, and my brother took his first step today! Granted, his first step was while trying to take a swim in the "house pool," so I am going to have to keep an eye on him.  He is taking a nap now, so I can finish up this superbadge. The best way to diagnose the JSON issue is to upload the file to a dataflow then try to run it.  You might see some errors like this.... so create the data set and fix the node.  Once you clear the big error boxes, it's off to the data monitor to see what is causing the dataflow to fail.  The silly filter critera took me a while to sort out, so, after a few random guesses, I read up on filter expression syntax.  You can too:  Filter Expression Syntax:  https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=bi_integrate_filter_transformation_expressionsyntax.htm&type=5 The rest of the fixes are fairly simple - a box to check, syntax error...etc.

My little brother is practicing his walking... If I am going to get the Einstein Analytics superbadge completed before he starts trying to play tag, I had better hurry!  Challenge 4 is not difficult if you follow the instructions precisely! Start by uploading the dataset then create the dataflow.  If you encounter this error.... You are, perhaps, taking the instructions too literally and need to tweak the formula. Step 5 - A quiz.  You're on your own! Step 6 - The monitor function was crucial in diagnosing dataflow issues!  If you get stuck, this thread on the developer community is a lifesaver:  https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=9060G0000005d3yQAA Example issues: In case you get stuck, here is a layout of the nodes.... The trickiest part is the formulas for Definie Temp Range and Add TempClass.  Hint - The TempClass formula is different for each of the dataflows.

Hello all! It's time for another superbadge! I started this superbadge a long time ago... it's time to finish it!  My goal is to complete this badge before my little brother starts to walk.  He's getting close... Step 1 - A quiz.  You're on your own! Step 2- This is one checkbox in setup.  You're on your own! Step 3- Let's talk about that.... Dataflow. The best tool to use when crafting your dataflow is the data monitor.  It can help troubleshoot issues to find which part of the process needs some work. For example.... Why were rows not created? The problem? A box was checked that should not be checked.... The alias name was not correct for the "register" node. Once you see that beautiful green "Success" message, it's time to check the challenge.  Do not be discouraged if you get a few error messages.  This superbadge is EXTREMELY picky on syntax.  A few common errors: You can see this error and st
