Add the target definition STORE_TGT. Save the repository. Step 5. Create a Normalizer transformation. Create a Normalizer transformation named NRM_STORE_EXP. Create the two ports Store and Quarter(Repeats 4 times because we have data for 4 quarters The mapping should look as follows:

Mark the occurrence as 4 as we have the data for 4 quarters.

Port tab should look as follows.
