9 Case studies

This is a collection of spreadsheets found in the wild. Some are as easy to mung as the examples; others are harder because their structure is less consistent.

Seeing and reading the code will help you guage how much work is still involved in munging a spreadsheet. Attempting them for yourself and checking the model answer will help you to hone your instincts.

The spreadsheet files are provided in the smungs package on GitHub. Install as follows.

# install.packages("devtools") # If you don't already have it
devtools::install_github("nacnudus/smungs")
