Adding data to Data Refinery (Data Refinery)

After you create a project and you create connections or you add data assets to the project, you can then add data to Data Refinery and start prepping that data for analysis.

You can add data to Data Refinery in one of several ways:

• Select Refine from the menu of a data asset in the project
• Preview a data asset in the project and then choose to refine it
• Navigate to Data Refinery first and then add data to it

Navigate to Data Refinery

Access Data Refinery from within a project. Click Add to project > Data Refinery flow.

If you already have a Data Refinery flow, you can go to the project's Assets tab and click New Data Refinery flow in the Data Refinery flows section.

Add data

To add data after you navigate to Data Refinery:

1. Select the data that you want to work with from Data assets or from Connections.

From Data assets:

• Select a data file (the selection includes data files that were already shaped with Data Refinery)

• Select a connected data asset

  From Connections:

• Select a connection and file
• Select a connection, folder, and file

• Select a connection, schema, and table or view

  Data Refinery supports Avro, CSV, JSON, Parquet, SAS with the "sas7bdat" extension (read only), TSV (read only), or delimited text files.

2. Click Add to load the data into Data Refinery.

Tip: If your data doesn't display in tabular form, specify the format of your data source. Go to the Data tab. Scroll down to the SOURCE FILE information at the bottom of the page. Click the "Specify data format" icon.
