Awesome video! It would be better if you used a bigger font size. It's hard to read even with the zoom ins 😢
Great advice, thank you!
The font is small and blurry - hard to see what you are doing.
Hey sorry to hear that. Full code available here: github.com/lddurbin/guardian_film_reviews_data/blob/45d0d4ce7ef74054609ab28d44ddd8c6e92eafa3/datacasts_film_review_data.R

You can tell this is the first piece-to-camera I recorded in nearly a year - I didn’t realise I wasn’t looking into the camera for the first minute! 😂

Awesome Your Content
Thank you!
Amazing tutorial, but as a real real beginner in R its a bit advanced for :( since you don't really explain things at that level sometimes or go through some of the explanations quickly. I tried pausing and listening to some of the statements over and over again but was even then very overwhelming. I have an excel file to clean, although not exactly this kind bur rather one downloaded from Survey Monkey, meaning its in a dataframe format I gotta do some cleaning and struggling very much with those. Any reference would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
where is the file mate
I have some data with Na values but in the excel just are white spaces so xlsx _cell can't recognize such values and worst they will move in the wrong position. I solved it changing manually the excel with Na. But maybe there's some other solution?
Lubridate can actually extract the date out of the url easily with just ymd(url)!
I prefer to use glue over paste. Thus glue_collapse(x, sep = " ") does a nice job on the body text.
I think that this wonderful piece would get more reads if it was posted under web scraping rather than reading a web page which is a bit generic. Web scraping is better description of what takes place here.
Good tip, I’ll update the title accordingly. Thanks!
This is well done! Nice break down of how to study a webpage and ferret out what one needs.
What if there is even less consistency. Like tables starting from any cell arbitrarily for each player, instead of always starting at row 6 as shown?
Hey good question! In that case you’d want to search for any character in a row after “Age (years)”, which gives you the row containing the headers for the activities tables.
@@thadremaw Amazing vid, good channel too. As i see it, there is more demand for python from audience. Maybe u could do code part parallelly on R and Python in a single vid. That way, not only would u be teaching 2 langs at once, but also show the advantages and disads of both side by side. Would be hard though.
@@thadremaw oh ur not OP nvm
I am the OP, I accidentally posted from my other account sorry! Good idea about a parallel approach to R & Python, I’ll think about it, thanks!
Why would one do this when one can use Power Query?
Hey, I’ve used both and I think it’s fine if you prefer Power Query. Personally I find the R syntax more intuitive, and I’m also an advocate for open source.
@Vishal Goswami Hi, Im also learning the data anlayst course . If you don't mind would you like to say me the case study ???
sir I need help can you please reply me back
Sure, how can I help?

@@vishalgoswami7512 I can try to provide some guidance. What's the problem you're trying to solve? Which data are you using?
@@datacasts can we talk on WhatsApp then i can explain you
I’d prefer to keep the conversation here. Are you struggling to obtain the data? Or to clean it? Or to analyse it?
Amazing tutorial. hope to implement such a thing soon
Amazing! thank you for doing this. I watched this a year ago and just rewatched it. It makes more sense having got more usage and experience in R. Love this topic as I do come by very messy Excel sheets. My main challenge now is to find the most efficient way to read heaving XLSb files
Hello, Can we use unpivotr package to clean this messy data ?
Good question! Yes, unpivotr is often used with tidyxl, however in this case it took me just as many lines of code to clean the data using unpivotr as it did without it - but that’s maybe because I don’t know unpivotr well enough :)
@@datacasts I tried unpivotr reading the documentation but somehow it is not picking the correct columns. It throws an error saying the values should be unique. I am not so sure but somehow I felt while practicing that unpivotr, it works only on structured pivot data or excel with multiple rows and column headers. But in this example, the data seems like key and value which unpivotr is unable to recognise. I may as well be completely wrong. As I am very new to R, is there a fixed method to clean such messy data or it is like for every messy data we have to take a different approach like you did in here ?
Sorry for replying so late but that’s exactly right, no two messy data files are the same :-)
Thanks for sharing! I used to receive monthly financial reports and cringe. If I ever have to deal with reports like that again, this process would be great for tidying it up for analysis.
Glad I could help!
Already learning new stuff, good job ;)
