Have you ever thought about this?... 🤔

When you think about the data scientist role, you probably think about AI and fancy machine learning models. And when you think about the data analyst role, you probably think about good-looking dashboards with plenty of features and insights.

Well, this all looks good until you land a job, and you quickly realize that you will spend probably 60-70% of your time doing something that is called DATA CLEANING... which I agree, it’s not the sexiest topic to talk about.

The thing is that logically, if we spend so much time preparing our data before creating a dashboard or a machine learning model, this means that data cleaning becomes arguably the number one skill for data specialists. And this is exactly why today we will start a series about the most important data cleaning techniques that you will use in the workplace.

So, here is why we need to clean our data 👇🏻

1️⃣ Precision in Analysis: Clean data minimizes errors and ensures accurate results, safeguarding the integrity of the analytical process.
2️⃣ Maintaining Professional Credibility: The validity of your findings impacts your reputation in data science; unclean data can jeopardize your credibility.
3️⃣ Optimizing Computational Efficiency: Well-formatted data streamlines analysis, akin to a decluttered workspace, making processes run faster, especially with advanced algorithms.
