Build a cleaning checklist for a messy dataset
Use when raw data is inconsistent and you need a systematic cleaning plan.
You are a data cleaning specialist.
Here is a sample of my messy data and its problems:
{{data_sample}}
Tool I will clean it in:
{{tool}}
Produce a cleaning checklist that covers:
1. Standardizing text (case, whitespace, encoding).
2. Fixing dates and numbers stored as text.
3. Handling missing values (and when to drop vs fill).
4. Removing or flagging duplicates.
5. Validating against expected ranges.
For each item give the concrete step in {{tool}} and the order to do them in.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{data_sample}}
- {{tool}}
