This video provides a walkthrough of the challenge requirements for preparing a dataset for cohort analysis. You will see how to preprocess a sample transactional dataset, assign users to cohorts based on their first purchase month, and engineer key features such as cohort index and order counts. The video covers strategies for handling raw data, creating cohort labels, and generating new columns to support downstream cohort analysis.

You are about to apply your knowledge from previous chapters on cohort assignment and feature engineering. Your task is to prepare a sample transactional dataset for cohort analysis.
