A dashboard can display a precise number even when the records behind it have problems. A data quality check looks at those records before your team uses them to make a decision. ๐
Here are 3 things to test:
๐ Missing Values
Are important fields blank? If an order has no date or customer ID, it may be left out of a report or counted in the wrong place.
โ ๏ธ Invalid Entries
Do values make sense? A negative quantity, an impossible date, or text in a price field may point to an entry or system error.
๐ Conflicting Records
Do connected systems agree? If the same order shows different totals in your sales and finance data, find out why before reporting revenue.
Start with the fields that affect your most important decisions, then decide who will review errors and how theyโll be corrected. โ
Unsure which records your reports rely on? DM โDATAโ to discuss a quality check for your business. ๐ฉ
