Volunteer Skills Status Sample Dataset

Context

I carried out a data analysis project using real-world sample data to examine the number of volunteers with multiple skills. This project served as a demonstration of what I learned during a volunteer placement with the charity DataKind. It allowed me to test and validate data workflows before applying them to live datasets. As the original project was confidential, this version is a simplified simulation that showcases the tools and processes used. The project was completed using Python, Excel, Jupyter Notebook, and Power BI.

Actions

  • 🔹 Step 1: Clean the database and remove duplicates, missing numbers and remove columns to reduce the file size.
  • 🔹 Step 2: Use Jupiter Notebook /Python to read in the files look through the data.
  • 🔹 Step 3: Visualize the data using Power BI and create plots.
  • 🔹 Step 4: Looked at the trends and then put the results on Power BI to create a dashboard.
