Maybe you find yourself frequently updating a dataset or running the same calculations for your reporting. Or you just want to automate some of the collection or visualisation of a dataset.

If these are the problems you face, then R is your friend! And here’s your chance to get to know it better.

By the end of these three sessions you will have learned the basics of using R and its most popular interface RStudio. You will know how to explore your data and run common analysis tasks.
