The purpose of this student project was to dive into analytics with Python, practice the preparation of data analysis, and conduct the most fundamental data engineering tasks using large amount of data. To finalize, project's documentation was prepared using population flow and reporting in Excel.

DATASETS

The datasets contain open-source data from 2017 made available online by Instacart. The consumer data and the prices of the products were both fabricated for learning purposes.
