Use Cases

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

Common Usage

  • filter IDVs with specific legislative reporting values
  • group awards by mandate-related reporting category
  • identify records with no additional reporting value, such as NONE

Common Mistakes

  • assuming the field is a numeric code or quantified measure
  • grouping raw text without normalizing capitalization, spacing, or synonymous labels

Query Guidance
