Data's vague on rambling being beneficial (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

advantageous

'beneficial' is the definition.
('advantageous' can be similar in meaning to 'beneficial')

'data's vague on rambling' is the wordplay.
'rambling' is an anagram indicator.
'datas'+'vague'+'on'='datasvagueon'
'datasvagueon' is an anagram of 'ADVANTAGEOUS'.

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for advantageous that I've seen before include "Profitable" , "Useful, beneficial" , "Favourable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
