DATA ANALYST INTERNSHIP

Task 1: Data Cleaning and Preprocessing

Objective: Clean and prepare a raw dataset (with nulls, duplicates, inconsistent formats).
Tools: Excel / Python (Pandas)

Deliverables: Cleaned dataset + short summary of changes

Hints / Mini Guide:


Identify and handle missing values using .isnull() in Python or filters in Excel.
Remove duplicate rows using .drop_duplicates() or Excel’s “Remove Duplicates”.
Standardize text values like gender, country names, etc.
Convert date formats to a consistent type (e.g., dd-mm-yyyy).
Rename column headers to be clean and uniform (e.g., lowercase, no spaces).
Check and fix data types (e.g., age should be int, date as datetime).

Dataset names from Kaggle suitable for Task 1:


Customer Personality Analysis
Medical Appointment No Shows
Mall Customer Segmentation Data
Netflix Movies and TV Shows
Sales Data

By completing this task, you will:


Gain hands-on experience in identifying and fixing common data issues like missing values,
duplicates, and inconsistent formatting.
Learn to use Excel functions or Pandas in Python for real-world data cleaning.
Improve your understanding of data pre-processing, which is a critical step before data analysis or
visualization.
Build confidence in handling raw datasets independently.
Create a clean, structured dataset that is ready for analysis or modelling.
