Export data to Zoho Analytics
You can export the refined data to data analytics tools such as Zoho Analytics.
To export data to Zoho Analytics
1. Open an existing pipeline or create a pipeline from the Home Page, Pipelines tab or Workspaces tab. You can bring your data from 50+sources.
2. On the Pipeline Builder page, once you have completed creating your data flow and applying the necessary transforms in your stages, you can right-click a stage and select the Add Destination option.
2. You can search for Zoho Analytics
under the
All destinations
tab or filter it using the
Zoho Apps
category, and click on it.
3. Choose the Organization, Workspace and how you would like to add the rows using one of the below options:
Add rows at the end - This option will add data at the end of your existing data after export
Delete existing rows and add - This option will delete the existing records from your data and add new data after export
Add rows and replace if already exists - This option will check and add records if it don't exist already and replace the existing ones based on the column you select to match existing records.
4. You can choose to include columns containing personal data by selecting the Include columns with personal data
check box.
5. Click Save. Now that you have added a destination, you may want to try executing your pipeline using a manual run at first. Once you make sure manual run works, you can then set up schedule to automate the pipeline. Learn about the different types of runs here
Info: Each run is saved as a job. When a pipeline run is executed, the data fetched from your data sources will be prepared using the series of transforms you have applied in each of the stages, and then data will be exported to your destination. This complete process is captured in the Jobs page.
Note:
1. The rows whose values match their respective data types will be exported.
2. Rows with data type mismatch are not exported and error details will be notified through mail and in the notification panel.
3. Datasets containing invalid data cannot be exported to analytics. Please make sure the dataset does not contain invalid values before
scheduling export
to Zoho Analytics.

13. If the manual run succeeds without any errors, your data will be exported successfully. If you choose the Add rows and replace if already exists option, and if the manual run fails throwing the below target match error, you can fix them by completing the target matching steps.
Target matching is a useful feature in DataPrep that prevents export failures caused due to errors from the data model mismatch.
Target matching during export to Zoho Analytics
Target matching happens before the data is exported to the destination. Target matching is a useful feature in DataPrep that prevents export failures caused due to errors from the data model mismatch. Using target matching, you can set the required table in Zoho Analytics as the target and align the source dataset columns to match with your target table. This ensures seamless export of high quality data to Zoho Analytics.
Note: Target matching failure is not an export failure. Target matching happens before the data is actually exported to the destination. This way the schema or data model errors that could cause export to fail are caught beforehand preventing export failures.
When target match check fails
1. If the target match check fails during export, you can go to the DataPrep Studio page, click the target matching icon 
at the top right corner and choose the Show target option. The target's data model is displayed above the existing source dataset. The columns in the source dataset are automatically aligned to match the columns in the target dataset, if found.
Target matching displays the different icons and suggestions on the matched and unmatched columns. You can click on these suggestions to quickly make changes to match the existing column with the target column. To make it easier for you to fix the errors, the target module in your Zoho Analytics is attached as a target to your data. You can view the mapping of your data with the table in the DataPrep Studio page along with the errors wherever there is a mismatch. You can hover over the error icons to understand the issue and click on them to resolve each error.
Note: All columns are displayed in the grid by default. However, you can filter out the required option by clicking the All columns link.
2. Click the View summary link to view the summary of the target match errors. The summary shows the different model match errors and the number of columns associated with each error. You can click on the required error columns and click Apply to filter out specific error columns.
Target match error summary
- The Target match errors section shows the errors and the number of columns associated with each error.
- The section at the top lists the error categories along with the number of errors in each category.
- You can click them to filter errors related to each category in the panel.
- In the default view, all columns are displayed. However, you can click any error category and get a closer look at the columns or view the error columns alone by selecting the Show only errors checkbox.
- Your filter selection in the Target match error summary will also be applied on the grid in the DataPrep Studio page.
Target matching errors
The errors in target matching are explained below:
-
Unmatched columns : This option shows all the unmatched columns in the source and target.
Note:
- The non-mandatory columns in the target can either be matched with a source column if available or ignored.
- The columns in the source that are missing in the target need to be matched or removed to proceed exporting.
When using the unmatched columns option, you can toggle the Show only mandatory columns option to see if there are any mandatory columns(set as mandatory in the target) and include them. You can also fix only the mandatory columns and proceed to exporting.
- Data type mismatch : This option displays the columns from the source having data types that do not match the columns in the target.
- Data format mismatch : This option displays columns from the source having date, datetime and time formats that differ from those in the target.
- Constraint mismatch : This option displays the columns that do not match the data type constraints of the columns in the target. To know how to add constraints for a column, click here.
-
Mandatory column mismatch: This option displays the columns that are set as mandatory in the target but not set as mandatory in your source.
Note: The mandatory columns cannot be exported to the destination unless they are matched and set as mandatory. You can click the
icon above the column to set it as mandatory. You can also use the Set as mandatory (not null) check box under the Change data type transform to set a column as mandatory.
- Data size overflow warnings : This option filters the columns with data exceeding the maximum size allowed in the target.
3. After fixing the errors you can go to the Pipeline builder page and run your pipeline to export your data. Once you make sure manual run works, you can then set up schedule to automate the pipeline. Learn about the different types of runs here
