- How to identify the data structures that will let you to make the analyses you need, and why there is no one size fits all solution;
- How to decide what adjustments, if any, need to be made to an existing data structure to produce the one you need;
- Tools and techniques for automating some of the adjustments, including combining and splitting fields, and converting horizontal to vertical record structures;
- What is required to join tables so you can connect data from several sources; and
- How to test your data structure to make sure it works.
