Spring Cleaning: Data Cleaning in Small Business

According to Tableau, data cleaning is the process of fixing or removing incorrect, corrupted, incorrectly formatted, duplicate, or incomplete data within a dataset. This helps ensure the insights you’re looking at for your business are as accurate as possible, which helps you determine not only your business performance, but also helps you make decisions like where to cut or focus costs. While it’s not an overly complicated process, data cleaning can be tedious, so make sure you have plenty of time and patience to tackle it!
