Integer "Numeric Code" Field has Invalid Values
KrisKusano opened this issue · comments
The 4th field (Numeric Code) has a type='integer'. The field contains values of Nil, — (HTML char —), and N.A..
The data protocols spec does not have a default missing values (see also dataprotocols issue #97). An empty cell for non-integer values would be a more clear solution.
@rgrp - are you maintaining this dataset? I would be willing to write a script to download the data and convert the offending column if that would be helpful.
@KrisKusano I am maintaining this dataset and would be delighted to have a script to download and update. Scripts normally go in /scripts/ subdirectory and prefer shell, node or python in terms of language but happy with anything you can provide :-)
@rgrp I gave it a go and opened a pull request. Let me know what you think.
