A Divide-n-Conquer Approach to Counting Word Occurrence
In the social data project #PreppinData Week 9 in 2019, there is an interesting project on counting word occurrences in customer complaints. It coincides with a project at my work. So, I started my first ever Tableau Prep project. It is a wild ride. Quite satisfying non the less.
I wondered initially whether I should go thru the Tableau video on the Prep. Then I decided to see how our coach Carl Allchin did it by opening his solution in the Prep Builder. It is quite easy to read. I just repeated what he did for the project and validated my result against his. Voila I learnt the Tableau Prep Builder this way.
My project at work is different in that each conversation is much longer. In the #PreppinData project, each text field has a maximum of 20 words.
