Static Sensor Readings and Static Sensor Location

Issue: In the CSV file of Static Sensor Readings, there are no geographic coordinates of the static sensors as the data are in the CSV file of Static Sensor Locations. Solution: Use Tableau Prep to join the two tables into one CSV based on the common field which is Sensor-id and cleaning it by removing the extra sensor-id field. With this, it would be possible to perform a map visualization for Static Sensors using the longitude and latitude in Tableau. The following is the data preparation used in Tableau Prep for Static Sensor data.
