#1

I’ve been stuck on this project for a couple of hours now and can’t see where I’m going wrong. I already gave up and copied the instructors code, letter by letter and still got the same problem.

When I get to step 9, ‘Print transactions_clean’, its prints but the source data has quadrupled! This causes issues with the remainder of the project.

Has anyone else experienced this?

#2

They are a number of similar questions knocking around the forums if you have a search around (should my answer prove a little too cryptic). Perhaps the fact the data had been repeated could help you track down your bug. Are you using code designed to repeat certain tasks? Is there a specific part that repeats a task exactly four times?

I’ve been staring at it so long the words are starting to melt together. Thank you for the reply, I’ll come back soon and look at it from a different angle.

FYI, I replaced the artifacts “;,;” by “@”
Did you get the following result for the following?

daily_transactions:
['Edith Mcbride @$1.21 @ white @ \n09/15/17 ', 'Herbert Tran @ $7.29@ \nwhite&blue@ 09/15/17 ',...]

daily_transactions_split:
[['Edith Mcbride ', '$1.21 ', ' white ', ' \n09/15/17 '], ['Herbert Tran ', ' $7.29', ' \nwhite&blue', ' 09/15/17 '], ...]

transactions_clean:
[['Edith Mcbride', '$1.21', 'white', '09/15/17'], ['Herbert Tran', '$7.29', 'white&blue', '09/15/17'],...]

You’re not alone, I struggle too :roll_eyes:. So you may want to ensure you achieved above result in order to proceed. Don’t give up :clap:

Thank you both for the help. I’ve finally ticked that box and can move on.

Hi, I am @codeatharvmn, the person who created the topic you linked to, and thank you for linking to my topic! I remember that you replied to this topic, and you did not reply to what else I asked you, but I saw the project walkthrough video and moved on.

I got stuck again today, so I have a new topic. Can you come here?
