Data Wrangling

The overall process of discovering, structuring, cleaning, enriching and validating raw data into an analysis-ready form; also called data munging.

Definition

Wrangling is often the most time-consuming part of analytics. Tools include Power Query, Tableau Prep, pandas, dplyr and SQL.

Exam tip

Wrangling is the broad umbrella; cleansing is one part of it.
