Hardin Open Workshops - Data: Reviewing and Cleaning Up Spreadsheet Data with Open Refine (Zoom) promotional image

Nearly everyone works with data in spreadsheets or tables. This workshop will provide you with hands-on experience in using a free tool, called OpenRefine, to check data in spreadsheets, and fix some common issues, from typos to splitting columns. OpenRefine is easy to use, will save you a lot of time, and it keeps track of the changes you’ve made so you can reuse them or roll them back.

This workshop can be tailored for specific groups and disciplines. Follow-up sessions and individual consultations are also available. If you have a data set that you would like to work on, contact the instructor for a consultation.
Prior to the workshop, please install the Release Version of OpenRefine on your laptop: https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Installation-Instructions

PLEASE NOTE

Class will be taught via Zoom. Advance registration is required. Registrants will be emailed the Zoom link 30 minutes before the class time.
