Dataset Analysis & Transformation Process
ISSUE 1:
Issue: In the current dataset, “mc1-reports-data.csv”. The different categories of damage are a column by itself, making it difficult to compare the damage by the categories.
Solution: Pivot the different categories of damage – sewer_and_water, power, roads_and_bridges, medical and buildings into a new column, “Damage Area”, with their respective damage level in a new column, “Damage Level (0-10)”.
To do this, I used Tableau Prep’s “Pivot function” to make the changes. After applying the pivot function, you can see that I now have 2 new columns containing the data from sewer_and_water, power, roads_and_bridges, medical and buildings merged as one.
