This practical guide provides business analysts with an overview of various data wrangling techniques and tools, and puts the practice of data wrangling into context by asking, \"What are you trying to do and why?\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Wrangling data consumes roughly 50-80% of an analyst's time before any kind of analysis is possible. Written by key executives at Trifacta, this book walks you through the wrangling process by exploring several factors--time, granularity, scope, and structure--that you need to consider as you begin to work with data. You'll learn a shared language and a comprehensive understanding of data wrangling, with an emphasis on recent agile analytic processes used by many of today's data-driven organizations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Appreciate the importance--and the satisfaction--of wrangling data the right way. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand what kind of data is available \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose which data to use and at what level of detail \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeaningfully combine multiple sources of data \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecide how to distill the results to a size and shape that can drive downstream analysis \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tye Rattenbury,Joseph M.
