What is business rule implementation during transformation?

< 1 min read

Business rule implementation means applying business logic while preparing data, not in visuals.
I convert raw data into meaningful fields based on company definitions.
Example: Revenue = Amount – Discount – Cancelled orders (finance rule).
I classify customers as Active/Inactive based on 90-day purchase rule.
I standardize statuses like “Closed, Completed, Delivered” → “Completed”.
I also map region codes to business regions using lookup tables.
Rules are documented so all reports use same calculation logic.
Done in Power Query or source view instead of DAX to keep consistency.
Goal is consistent KPIs across all dashboards.
