description: Importing data from csv file
params:
sheet: dataset1
format: csv
filename: dataset1.csv
skip_last_lines: 1
- operation: columns.add_column
description: Calculate the gender ratio

sheet: dataset1
name: Gender Ratio
expression:
language: python
content: "return float(row['Totale Maschi']) / float(row['Totale Femmine'])"
- operation: sheets.export_data
description: save the data
params:
sheet: dataset1
format: csv
filename: dataset2.csv
JSON buildfiles are also supported. databuild will guess the type
