A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.

 

This week's challenge is relatively straightforward, but sometimes data needs trimming.

 

The following dataset includes a list of city, country, year, continent, and season (winter or summer)image279.PNG

for each Olympic Games except those canceled.

 

Your challenge is to find:
- How many times has each continent hosted the Summer Olympics?
- How many times has each continent hosted the Olympic Winter Games?
- What is the total of the Olympic Games hosted for each continent, summer and winter combined?

 

Oh, easy, you may think. For this Challenge, you will have to propose 2 solutions and one that does not use the trim functions.

I just can't believe they don't include Korfball and Tug of War as Olympic sports anymore. Such a shame.

Technically it says one solution should not use the trim function, therefore if neither of my solutions use it, I am still following the rules 😏
