Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation

Common Usage

  • Classifying vendor sites as U.S. or non-U.S.
  • Summarizing vendor location by country

Query Guidance

Select this field for display, filtering, or validation of the coded country value, but group and join on the associated country code when available. In SQL, consider normalizing text case and trimming whitespace, and compare against the code field to detect mismatches or unmapped labels.
