Hi J,

Sorry for deviating from the topic.

Mind telling how you "wrangling data around", the tools you use? I just got a my 5 years bank transactions in a csv. I just looking at the data in excel, wondering how to "analyse the data". Thats when I noticed your post on HN.

Sorry :)

No problem!

I mostly use Splunk, since I have to correlate a lot of different data sources.

You can also set up an ELK stack (Elasticsearch / Logstash / Kibana)

My excel skills are not that advanced, but depending on the result you want to achieve it might be sufficient.

Thanks. Any material you can recommend that I look at for learning ELK stack & Splunk? Which version of splunk is ideal for me learn the tool - I see too many options?

Hi,

I would suggest importing your data into a BI tool like Zoho Analytics first and see if that solves your needs, before advancing to Elastic Search or Splunk
