What is dynamic transformation logic?

< 1 min read

Dynamic transformation logic means transformations adapt automatically based on changing data or inputs.
Instead of fixed columns, I use functions to detect and process new columns/files.
Example: Monthly sales files add new product columns — query automatically includes them.
I use parameters and folder ingestion to process new files without editing queries.
Column renaming and type assignment handled using column name patterns.
Useful for APIs or folder sources where structure slightly changes.
Prevents refresh failures when schema updates happen.
Built using M functions, lists, and conditional logic.
Goal is zero manual changes during regular data updates.
