Counting NA Values in Columns with Specific Names
Understanding the Problem and Solution In this article, we’ll explore a common problem in data analysis where you want to count the number of NA values in specific column names. The twist is that these columns have a common prefix, such as “start_time”, and we need to display the count separately for each column. Prerequisites and Background To tackle this problem, we’ll assume that you’re working with a data frame (df) in R or similar programming languages like Python (with pandas) or SQL.
