How much time do you guys spend cleaning data for analysis? Feel like I spend 80% my time cleaning rather than analyzing or do much else. The data is pulled by specialists at my firm so it’s not even because I don’t know how to pull data correctly.

Yeah, I'm a big proponent of cleaning data with BleachBit. Using it does come with some slightly unpleasant side effects, but it is rock solid at doing the grunt work of cleaning data.

Back in the day I was a SAS coder and we planned on 80% of the effort being data prep. My friends with hard science PhDs spend years collecting and cleaning data Ana’s a few weeks on the analysis.

You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
