Spreadsheets and OpenRefine

During this extended 90 minute interactive workshop, participants will learn best practices for working with spreadsheet data. After a brief presentation, the instructors will guide participants in cleaning a pre-provided dataset using the open-source tool OpenRefine. Topics covered in OpenRefine will include: sorting and filtering, saving scripts, and exporting the final cleaned data file. We ask that registrants download OpenRefine 3.5.1 and make sure they can open it prior to attending the workshop. Please contact Meryl Brodsky or Hannah Chapman Tripp if you are experiencing difficulty downloading or opening the software.
