Teaching — basic¶
Synthetic, minimal inputs that isolate one engine feature at a time.
-
Fold every "no value" spelling —
NULL,NA,N/A,n/a,None,"-"— into a single genuine empty cell, while leaving real values untouched. -
Space-Grouped Thousands → Number
Parse the continental-European number format — space-grouped thousands with a comma decimal,
"1 234 567,89"=1234567.89— into a clean numeric value. -
Timezone Functions — normalise to UTC, convert between zones
Turn messy per-broker timestamps into clean UTC and derive zone facts with the four timezone builtins —
TO_UTC,TZ_OFFSET,IS_DST, andTZ_CONVERT— all DST-aware, no external service. -
Split a measurement column that glues a number to its unit —
5.0 kg,250 g,1.5 L,12 pcs— into a clean numericamountand a separateunitcolumn.
