Next, you’ll discover how to query and analyze arrays, filter on multiple values, measure their length, and transform them to unlock deeper insights.

Finally, you’ll learn how to access nested fields using clear paths, flatten or rename values for reporting, troubleshoot inconsistent structures, and combine these techniques to solve real-world analysis scenarios.

When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of working with dates, arrays, and nested fields in MongoDB needed to produce clear, actionable insights for analysis and reporting.
