What is data reconciliation?

< 1 min read

Data reconciliation is the process of comparing data from different sources to ensure they match.
It helps identify mismatches in numbers like totals or counts.
In one project, we reconciled sales figures between the source system and Power BI reports.
We checked row counts, totals, and key metrics.
This helped catch missing records and transformation issues.
Reconciliation is usually done during validation or UAT.
It ensures report accuracy before business release.
It builds confidence in analytics outputs.
