Often it is messy. Sometimes it is incomplete. And sometimes there’s too much of it. Frequently, it has errors. We’ll use one of the most widespread data wrangling tools, Microsoft Excel, to import, sort, filter, copy, protect, transform, summarise, merge, and visualise research data.  \n  \n While aimed at novice Excel users, most attendees will walk away with new tricks to work more efficiently with their research data.\n\n‘Clean up’ messy research data  \n Organise, format and name your data  \n Interpret your data (SORTING, FILTERING, CONDITIONAL FORMATTING)  \n Perform calculations on your data using functions (MAX, MIN, AVERAGE)  \n Extract significant findings from your data (PIVOT TABLE, VLOOKUP)  \n Manipulate your data (convert data format, work with DATES and TIMES)  \n Create graphs and charts to visualise your data (CHARTS)  \n Handy tips to speed up your work\n\nIn order to participate, attendees must have a licensed copy of Microsoft Excel installed on their computer. Speak to your local university IT or Research Office for assistance in obtaining a license and installing the software.  \n  ","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.6423556","remote_updated_date":null,"remote_created_date":null,"scientific_topics":[],"operations":[]},{"id":283,"title":"Data Capture and Surveys with REDCap","url":"https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/data-capture-and-surveys-with-redcap-f8f6d9fa-5931-4200-ad45-313c7655b60c.json","description":"Would you like to enable secure and reliable data collection forms and manage online surveys? Would your study benefit from web-based data entry? Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) might be for you.\n\nThis course will introduce you to REDCap, a rapidly evolving web tool developed by researchers for researchers. REDCap features a high level of security, and a high degree of customisability for your forms and advanced user access control. It also features free, unlimited survey distribution functionality and a sophisticated export module with support for all standard statistical programs.\n\n- Get started with REDCap\n- Create and set up projects\n- Design forms and surveys using the online designer\n- Define basic branching logic\n- Enter data and distribute surveys\n- Set up basic longitudinal projects\n\nThe course has no prerequisites.","doi":"10.5281/zenodo.6423762","remote_updated_date":null,"remote_created_date":null,"scientific_topics":[],"operations":[]},{"id":284,"title":"QA Course 1","url":"https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/qa-course-1.json","description":"QA About\n\nQA Learning Objectives\n\nQA Prerequisites","doi":"https://qadoi.org/10.5694/int2.80888","remote_updated_date":null,"remote_created_date":null,"scientific_topics":[],"operations":[]},{"id":285,"title":"Learn to Program: Python","url":"https://staging.dresa.org.au/materials/learn-to-program-python-7f13ec4e-d275-486b-be8d-3c0b8d082a7a.json","description":"Python has deservedly become a popular language for scientific computing.
