I’m curious how folks handle the prep work for data imports/uploads into systems like Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, or really any app that uses template based import for data loading, migration, or implementation.

Specifically: \n- How do you manage conversions/transformations like formatting dates, getting everything aligned with the templates, mapping old codes to new ones, etc.

- Are you primarily using Excel, custom scripts, Power Query or something else?

- What are the most tedious/painful parts of this process and what have you found that works?

Really appreciate any insights and am curious to learn from everyone's experience.","time":1747240035,"title":"Ask HN: How are you cleaning and transforming data before imports/uploads?","type":"story"}],[42222717,{"by":"gaws","descendants":49,"id":42222717,"kids":[42226845,42225494,42222882,42225501,42226891,42238102,42225604,42226040,42226599,42227192,42226060,42226227,42226154,42226249,42225506,42225685,42226412,42227813],"score":165,"time":1732386927,"title":"1 Dataset. 100 Visualizations","type":"story","url":"https://100.datavizproject.com/"}],[41098311,{"by":"thunderbong","descendants":8,"id":41098311,"kids":[41099664,41100009,41099710,41099811,41119628,41099766],"score":10,"time":1722234174,"title":"The Documentation Tradeoff","type":"story","url":"https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/the-documentation-tradeoff"}],[40079835,{"by":"yr1337","descendants":116,"id":40079835,"kids":[40088844,40089389,40080324,40093489,40092861,40089513,40088825,40088913,40089867,40081909,40081284,40094244,40096527,40079923,40093234,40090905,40080820,40094700,40101827,40092822,40089196,40093169,40094130,40113496,40094342,40089007,40094256,40098515,40089613,40093105,40094632,40129626,40080701,40081118,40089113,40098851,40094262,40089794,40089744,40092917,40094511,40096327,40080252,40095170,40088884,40096311,40092887,40089003,40092884,40093905,40089051,40089677,40094874,40167615,40089615],"score":106,"text":"I'm interested in the healthcare/medical space and trying to find a worthy problem to work on.

It's not going well. Just scraping LinkedIn and trying to make connections, I'm getting a 25% connection rate and a 1% interview rate.

My message is super concise and trying to be as non-salesy as possible. I'm pretty clear I'm just looking to learn/listen and not pitch.

BTW I'm also looking into other avenues than LinkedIn, just not 100% sure what that may be.
