Tidy your data for better outcomes
Tidying data refers to tying the structure of your data set back to its meaning, which includes matching up rows, columns, and tables with your observations, variables, and types.
Tidy data tells a clearer story and allows you to draw comparisons and apply formulas or visualisations more easily.
Create your first database with help from SQLite
