In this module you'll learn to prepare data for analysis. Often data is not recorded as required. You'll learn to manipulate string variables to extract key information. You'll create a single datetime variable from date and time information spread across multiple columns in a table. You'll efficiently load and combine data from multiple files to create a final table for analysis.

In this module you'll clean messy data. Missing data, outliers, and variables with very different scales can obscure trends in the data. You'll find and address missing data and outliers in a data set. You'll compare variables with different scales by normalizing variables.
