Description
How could the content be improved?
Hey,
Another comment about this lesson. In this section it is not clear (at least to me) how to import the data into Google Sheets. I really dont use this tool, so I would suggest something like this:
- Export and unzip the 2017 Public Library
Survey
file. - Open up the
AboutThisFile.txt
to read more about this file - Open Google Sheets in Chrome
- Click on File>Import and located the
PLS_FY17.csv file
- Leave all of the default options and select "Import Data" (not sure if this is correct, see attached image)
- Look in the
ADDRESS
column and notice that the values contain the
latitude and longitude in parenthesis after the library address. - Construct a regular expression to match and extract the latitude and
longitude into a new column named 'latlong'. HINT: Look up the
functionREGEXEXTRACT
in Google Sheets. That function expects the
first argument to be a string (a cell inADDRESS
column) and a
quoted regular expression in the second.
Also, I am attaching a screenshot that I got when importing the survey data into Google Sheets. Do I leave all of the default options selected (please see attached image)
Thanks
