@ribhuba There are quite a few use cases,in short every time you need a way to manipulate, subset and in some cases fix data issues data distiller can come in handy.. some examples include
- Custom calculated dimension/metrics: A eCom company would like to populate values for certain metrics into a field in schema ( or use it purely for reporting), and this needs to happen every night ( churn rate, birthday month etc..), one could use to do this within the platform and use the output for desired purpose
- Data Subset: A insurance company has loyalty data for all brands flowing into a single dataset, the business wants to only enable certain fields to profile, a subset of data can be created using data distiller
- Scheduled Query: Ability to schedule a query for time bound usecases
- Data Fixes: Ability to fix data issues, not really updating the dataset but use create a new dataset after all error are fixed.
Hope that helps
