UWA week 20 (1st semester, week 11) ↓

Are we supposed to combine the rows which have same country code and year in each of 3 files (all 5)

8:15pm Sun 19th May, ANONYMOUS

Hi professor, I see there is a country which is not present in one of the file(year is different) and should we suppose to retain that row as well or only take the rows which are in common(same country and year) in 3 files? For data cleaning process

Also - is the provided output in LMS is what we need to get ? Or it's just a sample output ? And Also, if there are rows with cells not matched with header column count, do we need to just report it or supposed to exit the program ?

Hi, Having removed the rows for entities which do not have a country code, the combination of <country code>-<year> will be unique. You need to do a join across that shared combined code, and taken in all the data (including empty cells). Is that what you mean, please? Cheers MichaelW

No, let's say we have a country code JPN which is having rows of year 2011 and 2012 in one file, and in another file it doesn't have rows of 2011 and 2012 instead the file contains rows of year 2014 and 2014. Should we retain all that rows with year 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 ? Or just exclude as the year doesn't common in both files?
