Did you know that data scientists and data analysts spend a large amount of time cleaning data before they can analyze it? This is because real-world data is messy. To help you navigate messy data this course teaches you how to clean data stored in an SQL Server database. You’ll learn how to solve common problems such as how to clean messy strings, deal with empty values, compare the similarity between strings, and much more. You’ll get hands-on with all these tasks using a wide range of interesting and messy datasets, including monthly airline flights by airport, TV series and paper shop sales. Are you ready to get your hands messy?
