Data wrangling, also called data munging, is the process of cleaning, restructuring, and enriching raw data into a usable format for analysis. Data analysts and scientists spend a significant portion of their time wrangling data—handling missing values, correcting inconsistent formatting, merging datasets, and removing duplicates—often using tools like Python's pandas, R, or spreadsheet software. It is a critical but often underappreciated step that precedes meaningful analysis or modeling.
