Sample groups, Sample top N and Salesforce connector enhancements

Updated over a month ago

Savants are always improving and their tools should too. That's why we're constantly releasing new features and enhancements every week. Here are the highlights from this month:

Sample Smarter with Groups

We’re thrilled to tell you about the new Sample Groups capability in Savant’s Sample tool!

With this enhancement, you can now sample not just from your dataset as a whole but within distinct groups in your data. Let's say you need to randomly pick 10 customers from each state. Simply set your Random 10 Rows strategy like normal, but then add the add "State" for sample grouping—and let Savant work its magic.

What can you do with Sample Groups? A lot. Here's how different analysts can make the most of it:

  • 📊 Accountants: Quickly sample transactions per vendor for audits or forecasting.

  • 💼 Sales Analysts: Create representative subsets of customer data for targeted outreach or pipeline analysis.

  • 🎯 Marketing Pros: Pull a sample of leads by campaign to analyze performance trends without overwhelming datasets.

With Sample Groups, it’s like having a laser-focused lens on your data universe.

Whether it’s states, departments, regions or anything else under the sun, the Sample Groups feature enables you to zero in on precisely the data you need—no extra steps required.

Sample Just the Top Rows

Our new and improved Sample tool also now supports "First N Rows" sampling! This means you can grab a specified number of rows right from the top of any dataset – perfect for when you only need a peek at the latest entries or want to pull specific data from an Excel file without any fuss.

With First N Rows, Random N, 1 Row per N, and N Percent of Rows, you've got an arsenal of sampling methods that make data slicing a two-click task.

Here are some ways analysts can take advantage of this new feature:

  • 💰 Accountants: Quickly retrieve just the top section of spreadsheet invoices to streamline your processing.

  • 📈 Sales Analysts: Grab the top deals by priority or date and analyze them without running full reports.

  • 🎯 Marketing Analysts: Pull the most recent campaign data from a large file for quick assessments of ad performance.
