Overview

Data cleaning is a waste of time.If the data had been collected properly in the first place there wouldn't be any cleaning to do, and you wouldn't now be faced with the prospect of weeks of cleaning to get your dataset analysis-ready.Worse still, your boss won't understand why your analysis report isn't on his desk yet, a mere 48 hours after he's asked for it. Bless him, he doesn't understand - he thinks that cleaning data is just about clicking a few buttons in Excel and - ta da! - it's all done. Even a monkey can do that, right?And - for good reason - you won't get any help from statistics books either. Data is messy and cleaning it can be difficult, time-consuming and costly.
