Abstract
Working with data can be super frustrating. I’ve been there. In fact, this tweet from a little over a year ago, only hints at the frustration I was feeling at the time.
In any given project, I think I spend more time trying to figure out how to reshape, melt, and cast my data than anything else.
Here, I make reference to specific functions (reshape, melt and cast) and I’m pretty sure I had spent 6–8 hours working on transforming my data to work in some visualization. I don’t even think I ended up getting it done in the end, and I found a really clunky, alternative solution.
