Data cleaning is a serious business – you’ll typically spend up to 80% of your time cleaning data!

In this course you’re going to learn how to clean your data - in Excel, Python and R - in hours rather than days or weeks!

I’ll teach you a method that took me several years to perfect, and as a result you’ll become much more productive, get your results faster and make your boss happy in the process.

The steps you’ll learn in this course are very simple to follow, but are extremely effective, so you’ll know that you’re getting the best start possible, saving you weeks of misery!

Suitable for beginners to cleaning data in Excel (and those that have a basic grounding in Python and/or R), in this course you’ll learn to ‘play’ with your data, learning what you can and – more importantly – can’t do with it.

Each lesson starts with a quick question to get your mental juices flowing, then you’ll dive straight into the data. There will be LOTS of playing and practising with data in Excel and your choice of Python or R, and you’ll learn by doing.

Then you’ll finish each lesson with a quiz – by now you should have learned EXACTLY what the correct responses are, and answer with confidence!
