Clean Your Data
Survey responses often come as text (e.g. "Strongly Agree"). Recode them to numbers so you can calculate averages and build charts. Likert scales, ordinal ranges, and multi-select columns are auto-detected.
Variable Summary
Some students skipped questions. By default these non-responses are dropped from charts and stats. You can label them all at once instead.
What is Data Cleaning?
Survey answers are stored as text — words like "Strongly Agree" or "Female." But math requires numbers. You can't calculate an average of words.
Cleaning means translating text responses into numbers so you can calculate averages, compare groups, and build charts. Each variable type needs a different approach:
