ETL Pipeline for Construction Data

Overview

Based on DDC methodology (Chapter 4.2), this skill enables building automated data pipelines that extract information from various sources, transform it into useful formats, and load it into target systems or generate reports.

Quick Start

import pandas as pd

# Simple ETL Pipeline
def simple_etl_pipeline(input_file, output_file):
    # EXTRACT
    df = pd.read_excel(input_file)

    # TRANSFORM
    df = df.dropna()  # Clean
    df['Total'] = df['Quantity'] * df['Unit_Price']  # Calculate
    summary = df.groupby('Category')['Total'].sum()  # Aggregate

    # LOAD
    summary.to_excel(output_file)
    return summary

# Run
result = simple_etl_pipeline("raw_data.xlsx", "processed_report.xlsx")

Extract: Data Sources

From Multiple Excel Files

# Usage
