dbt - more stuff

The more I used dbt the more I like it. I am finding many of its features really useful and I haven't even done the training on macros and packages yet so I feel there is more to come yet. In the meantime I have now start to, just of the fun of it, create some downstream views with dependencies on other steps and a function in SQL. Happy to say it is all working really well and using jinja (and my Snowflake function) has saved me heap of time coding. 

Sources yml: 

View using the source function (results in SQL)

View that references the output from previous steps, allows them to be linked: 

Assuming you create your sources in the yml file and reference previous steps using the reference function rather than calling the resulting table (dbt handles that for you) (as shown above) it will automatically work out the dependencies, run things in the right order and produces a lovely lineage graph like so. 

I am hoping to stop playing with what I know of dbt and might make some visuals based on the extra processing I have done before playing with dbt some more by working through some more of the training.
