Data science
The data is rarely clean and never in the required structure!
Whether you are just starting out with data science or are a seasoned professional, you won't deny the above statement!
In the career of a data analyst, extracting actionable insights from data is a critical skill. And you often face challenges with confusing, inconsistent, and unstructured data.
In my experience, traditional data cleansing methods are tedious and error-prone, especially when dealing with massive amounts of data, such as in a data warehouse. Spend a couple of hours just to get this data to its workable state.

Yes, such features exist.
