Bridging R Programming with Excel: The Future of Data Modeling - This master class is designed to showcase the powerful combination of R programming with Excel for data analysis and modeling. Participants will learn how to leverage the statistical capabilities of R alongside the familiar interface of Excel, enabling them to create enhanced, dynamic, and robust data models.
- R Scripts Folder: Contains all the R scripts that demonstrate various functionalities of R programming in conjunction with Excel.
- Data Folder: Includes CSV files used in the R scripts for practical demonstrations. These files represent typical datasets that one might encounter in a business environment.
- Doc Folder: Contains a PowerPoint presentation detailing the concepts covered in the master class, along with any additional documentation that supports the learning process.
For those new to R or seeking to enhance their skills, I recommend engaging with free online courses offered by platforms like DataQuest or DataCamp.
Download R - Precompiled binary distributions of the base system and contributed packages, Windows and Mac users most likely want one of these versions of R
Download and install R Studio Desktop Open Source Edition.
Before diving into the scripts, ensure you have the necessary packages installed. Run the following commands in your R console:
install.packages("dplyr")
install.packages("ggplot2")
install.packages("readxl")
install.packages("writexl")These packages are essential for data manipulation, visualization, and interacting with Excel files.
The CDW Master Class is a comprehensive introduction to integrating R programming with Excel. By the end of the session, participants will have a solid foundation in using these tools for advanced data analysis and modeling.
