description: You can use Data Load rules to filter out unwanted data before you upload it to Marketing Cloud Intelligence Data Pipelines. Create a load rule to set the criteria for the data that you want to upload. Then apply that rule to a data stream, and then apply a rule to filter out data before it’s loaded. For example, you want to upload data from your latest campaign, but due to an input error, the campaign dates are incorrect in your spreadsheet. Rather than create another spreadsheet, you can create a rule that tells MDP to ignore this campaign’s data.

# MDP Data Load Rules

You can use Data Load rules to filter out unwanted data before you upload it to Marketing Cloud Intelligence Data Pipelines. Create a load rule to set the criteria for the data that you want to upload. Then apply that rule to a data stream, and then apply a rule to filter out data before it’s loaded. For example, you want to upload data from your latest campaign, but due to an input error, the campaign dates are incorrect in your spreadsheet. Rather than create another spreadsheet, you can create a rule that tells MDP to ignore this campaign’s data.
