Combining data sources

“Combine data from different sources.” Merge, reconcile, and de-duplicate messy files into one clean, analysis-ready dataset.

Your story or case often lives across spreadsheets, exports, and agency files that don’t share IDs, formats, or even spellings. We join them — matching records across sources (entity resolution), reconciling inconsistent fields, de-duplicating, and validating the result so you can trust what the combined dataset says.

You’ll get an analysis-ready file plus a plain-language note on the assumptions and edge cases behind every merge, so the joins are transparent and defensible.

See our tutorials & how-tos and tooling & code, then bring your files to the desk.
