Outline of the video

• First show you how you can start to work on a file and then discuss in which format the data needs to be.
• Example: Buildings by building material 1960-2019 in Finland
• The stock data processing template has 8 columns. Going through them one by one to explain what they are.
• Different from the flow data processing is that start and end date columns aren’t there. This is because those aren’t needed for stock, as it stays for more than a year in the system.
• Back to the example, formatting the data after copying it from the source.
• Unfortunately the unit is not in tonnes, but instead buildings in numbers.
• We will just use it to show how the data can be arranged based on the info from the source.
