Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building

Common Usage

  • Filter awards with mandate-related reporting entries
  • Group awards by reported mandate value
  • Validate whether a mandate field is populated with expected codes such as NONE

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming the value is always plain language rather than coded
  • Using the field as a stand-alone category without checking related mandate fields

Query Guidance

Use exact matching for known values and normalize case or whitespace when comparing strings. If the dataset contains paired description fields, join or select them together; for aggregations, distinct-count and frequency checks are usually more useful than text parsing.
