Managing spreadsheets presents some chaallenges to data scientists. This article on Data Organization in Spreadsheets may help with some of the issues with managing spreadsheets. Typical issues include the following.

  • Unintended white space (space, tabs, etc.) in cells
  • Use of coloring in spreadsheet that is not read into R
  • The comment character (frequently '#') is used in a data cell
  • Dates are handled incorrectly
  • Mixing upper and lower case (e.g., Person vs. person)

This mneans that most projects have a phase where spreadsheet data need quality control before it can be analysed.

Example GenAlEx data.

Example FASTA data.
