Those aren't very good for cleaning and wrangling data, even if the output for analysis ends up being a spreadsheet.
- importantbrian 6y agoAgreed that spreadsheets aren't great for that, but totally disagree about SQL. SQL is the best cleaning and wrangling data tool out there. There's a reason the trend in the industry is towards tools like DBT. There are certainly things for which you need to use Python or R, but for 95% of tasks some combination of SQL and a spreadsheet will get you where you need to go.
