This two-hour workshop provides hands-on instruction, guiding you through the basics of organizing data in spreadsheets.

Working with Data SeriesGood data organization is the foundation of any research project. Most researchers have data in spreadsheets, so it’s the place that many research projects start. Typically we organize data in spreadsheets in ways that we as humans want to work with the data. However computers require data to be organized and structured in particular ways.In this workshop, you will learn how to think about data organization and some practices for more effective data wrangling. With this approach you can better format current data and plan new data collection so less data wrangling is needed. This lesson will not cover data analysis with spreadsheets. Much of your time as a researcher will be spent in the initial ‘data wrangling’ stage, so that’s where we will start!This two-hour workshop provides hands-on instruction, guiding you the basics of organizing data in spreadsheets. Setup instructions will be emailed to participants prior to the workshop.All UCR community members are welcome to attend. Make sure to register with your UCR email. Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants one hour before the workshop starts.
