Product File RESOURCE 1 - SALES FILE READ AND CLEAN we can use the missing valuesnode to fill down Then... we do something similar for Sales Lists(pre-prepared) convert Sales Date to LocalDate from String RESOURCE 2- ADDITIONAL VLOOKUPS A lookup table forregions. Works justlike we did for productcode "Advanced Options" on alookup table for productcategoriesAllows lookup usingwildcards, regex or substring RESOURCE 3 - CALCULATIONS Add tax amount calculation:Qty x Price x Sales Tax (already divided by 100 !)(rounded to 2 decimal places)NOTE:There are different rounding algorithms:roundHalfUp(n,dp) is equivalent to Excel's round(n,dp)when rounding each "rounding digit" (those which are to be dropped, plus the finalretained digit are each incremented by 1 (rounded up) if the digit which followed is (oncerounded) between 5 and 9.roundHalfDown(n,dp) is similar, but are rounded up only when the rounding digits arebetween 6 and 9, so "5" (i.e. the "half-way" point ) rounds downward.KNIME's round(n,dp) a.k.a "bankers rounding" and "round_even" alternates betweenHalfUp and HalfDown depending on whether the digit preceding the rounding digit isodd or even, to reduce potential "bias" of cumulative rounding. Any rounding digit that is5 is rounded toward the even digit.
