3.06 Mastering Common Silver and Gold zone transformations with PySpark in Microsoft Fabric

   • Microsoft Fabric For Beginners  
This video explores common transformation techniques in Silver and Gold zones. I explain data enrichment and type conversion transformations and demonstrate how to use PySpark API's and methods to address these tasks.
I also demonstrate how to process historical data from the Bronze layer using Window functions. Next, I explain core Kimball dimensional modelling concepts and demonstrate how they can be implemented using PySpark methods.
Finally, I demonstrate creating aggregates.
