    A couple little tips…
    On renaming variables to remove duplicates… After using the unique formula, type in the corrected names in the next column. Then, create a new column next to the brand column and use xlookup to bring in the new brand names.This also allows you to change any or all values very quickly without having to do separate find and replace. I also use countif on my xlookup reference table to make sure my number of observations don't get goofed up as I'm creating new labels.
    To split your city and country, you can use =TEXTSPLIT(J3," "). You can use the same formula instead of Text to Columns when splitting first and last names.
    You can use =NUMBERVALUE(N3,",") to convert your price to a number in a single formula

      Or you can use =value(substitute()) combined.

    A quicker way to convert text to a number is using the text to columns function without any delimiters selected. Works great for dates too.

    For the text to number section, it may be easier to do select that column then use find and replace (Ctrl + H, I think). Find comma, replace with full stop, replace all (when the column is highlighted)

    I would always start by creating a copy of hte origianl sheet in teh workbook and work on that copy. That way, the original data would always be available alongside the cleansed set in case of later queries. In the final version I would delete all of the original and interim columns after converting all data from formulae to vallues.

    I have a serious question for you. Do you believe that your degree compared to a certificate of skill acknowledgment would have the same value if it was not required for investment banking? I keep wondering why there is not a certificate for skills in the finance industry similar to computer certifications like network+,C++, etc. I would have preferred to get student loans for half the amount to learn in half the time through something like the CFA institute. If you could create a trade type school for finance where students get certifications, The Kenji Institute has a good ring to it.

    3rd Tip or cleaning was unnecessary and in the second tip, you didn’t need to convert it to number using the value function. You could have easily multiplied the output of SUBSTITUTE function by 1 making the value a number and not a string anymore.

    Not to be a hater but I really do not belive that this is "Pro User". Is barely the minimum and also the working method is so time consuming and inefficient.

    • @KenjiExplains
      @KenjiExplains  Рік тому +3

      Sorry to hear Bogdan, open to hearing what a better working method would have been on excel?

    • @Boddy955
      @Boddy955 Рік тому +4

      @@KenjiExplains So first of all in a real case scenario this raw set of data would have a recurrence of probably even once a day which means that at least once a day you would have to clean it. Therefore I think that the problem is not how to clean the data but how to clean it fast and present it error proof to the person that needs it. In order to do this I would not use the tools in excel which are great for one off cases, but I would rather create 2 small dbs, one for clients and on for products. Then I would use lookup formulas and mapping to bring up the information that I need when updating the requested set of data. I would need to setup this once, and then update it regularly fairly easy and fast. This structure would allow me quite a few things: 1) copy&paste update. In this way the report would be done in literally less than a minute 2) error checking. 3) enrichment of the report with aditional data. 4) proper presentation in a dynamic table. But of course there are more ways to do the same thing. In my honest opinion what separates a Pro level user from a basic user is the speed and the semplicity to do things.
