Hi Maveryx,

 

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

 

Our ACE, John Hollingsworth (@Hollingsworth) , is the creator of this Weekly Challenge. Thanks, John, for your contribution!

 

For this task, you will use a sample of Florida population data downloaded from the US Census Bureau.

 

Your tasks for this challenge are:

  1. Sum all the values for each GEO_ID and create a column named Total.
  2. Calculate the percentage each column represents of the total, and round the number to two decimal places.

 

Need a refresher? Review the Changing Data Layouts lesson in Academy to gear up.

 

Good luck!

This can be solved without RegEx but I wanted some practice.
