Data wrangling with TIBCO Spotfire supports users in fixing data quality issues, inconsistencies, and deficiencies as they interact with their data. Rather than going outside Spotfire to prepare data before creating visualizations, data scientists and business analysts are able to combine, shape, clean, enrich, and transform data, all while doing data exploration. Spotfire automatically captures all transformations and data wrangling steps, laying them out as a fully editable workflow, allowing the user to edit and share those steps with others in the organization.
