DATA CLEANING CHALLENGE WITH PANDAS

Python Projects for Data Analysis

 

Tailored specifically for aspiring data scientists, data analysts, and any other data professionals, this data cleaning challenge is designed to provide you with hands-on experience in tackling the most common data cleaning tasks faced by professionals in the field. With a collection of six carefully curated files in various formats, including Excel and CSV, you will have the opportunity to practice and refine your data wrangling skills in a dynamic and realistic setting.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

You are given two files with sales information of an industrial company that produces, distributes and sells  electronics worldwide.

The goal of the project is to clean sales data stored in the two datasets, merge them and get a single aggregated dataframe in long and wide format with the 2020 revenue broken down by product, branch, sector and  quarter. The final dataframe must be ready to be loaded in well-known visualization tools like Qlik or Tableu so that senior managers can quickly check company data and create reports and charts.

In addition to the  two files with retail (129000 rows) and wholesale (9400 rows) data,  you receive four extra files to complete some of the tasks required to create the final dataset. Your task consists of cleaning both tables, combine them with the other files and calculate the revenue of 2020 according to several conditions.

Cleaning data with Pandas involves dealing with null values, unwanted characters, duplicates, column types, string manipulation, etc. Moreover, you will have to create new columns, change date formats, standardize and replace values through dictionaries, apply list comprehension and many more so you can create the final table.

Anastasia has divided the project in more than 30 data cleaning exercises so you can complete the challenge step by step. It is a great project to practice the Pandas library and to get confident with data manipulation. You will work on the majority of tasks data scientists and data analysts from a wide range of industries must perform to prepare and exploit data.

    Pandas is the most important Python Library if you want to jump in the data analysis domain. The workload is fair and it covers all the necessary topics of Pandas like Data Wrangling, Aggregation, merges, strings, etc.
    The solutions to the exercises come in a Jupyter Notebook and they are concise, well structured and properly explained.
