SlowLearner38 Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 If you've never seen it before, Google Refine is a free tool for beating messy data into a clean format. It has a nice set of features for diagnosing inconsistencies in your data and then applying a transformation to correct things. Google Refine also runs on your local machine, so no need to worry about uploading your data elsewhere. Most importantly, it's easy to work with. There are some videos at the link above explaining more. Have a look for yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
