Graphical Recoding Tool

The Graphical Recoding Tool is an easy-to-use graphical interface for recoding and re-standardizing spreadsheet data.  Read more

Incoherent spreadsheet data clutters up your world

That is, if you are involved in data management for statistical purposes. The reasons why inconsistencies play havoc with your data have a wide range of explanations—everything from random spelling errors to systematic idiosyncrasies because the data is being combined from different sources.

Moreover, computer software aimed at re-validating and re-standardizing cloudy data sometimes poses a real challenge to your organizing skills. It is difficult enough to keep in mind such abstract programming statements as “RECODE this INTO that REPEAT until LATER”, let alone typing them correctly into the machine.

Now imagine running a system that offers a graphical interface for re-validating and re-standardizing data in a visual and intuitive fashion. A system which reduces both the time necessary for a specific assignment and the risk for error at the same time. Interested?  Hide

Step 1: Entering a dataset

The first step towards a graphical rendition of the data is to enter a dataset. This can be achieved in several different ways.  Read more

“Graphical Recoding Tool”

The “Graphical Recoding Tool” had its beginnings in a student assignment that was undertaken as part of an introductory course in Web Development, an introductory course at Luleå University of Technology (Sweden) in 2013.
