Datasets play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of data management and analysis in SAP Datasphere. These sources may include databases, spreadsheets, cloud applications, or even imported files. Datasets can encompass a wide array of information, ranging from customer profiles and transaction records to market trends and operational metrics.

Augmentation: Transformation enables the augmentation of datasets with additional relevant information, enhancing the richness and context of the data. 

Efficiency and Performance: Merging and transforming your data improves data processing speed, enhancing overall system efficiency and performance. 

Enhanced Analytics and Insights: Transformed datasets facilitate more accurate and meaningful analytics, leading to valuable insights and actionable intelligence.
