Week 2- coding: fix one error- create two more

My goal for this past week was:
  • Create a function that reads in the new dataset but that creates the same dictionary as last semester 
  • Analyze the variables within two of the files 

There has been some difficulties with the function I am trying to write, because instead of just one file I am pulling data from, there are multiple files. I then have to match up all the Project Entry ID numbers in these files to extract the dates and correct information out and store them into a dictionary. This is a work-in-progress and it is my goal to finish this function by next week.

  1. Coolio. This is non-trivial data munging (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_wrangling) so these types of issues are to be expected.
