• Identifying businesses with upcoming renewals by filtering on the Expiration Date column.
• Correlating business locations with school district funding sources by joining on Pa School Districts (2017) 2.
• Verifying the physical presence of out-of-state vendors for tax nexus analysis using Street Address, City, and State columns.
