Spot errors or outliers in a small dataset

Works with ChatGPT · Claude · Copilot

What you’ll be able to do

Catch likely mistakes or odd values before you rely on data.

The problem

Bad rows and outliers quietly distort conclusions.

What this skill does

AI flags values that look wrong, impossible, or inconsistent.

When to use it

  • Use before analyzing or sharing a dataset.

Juni’s tip

Weak vs. better

✗ Weak prompt

is my data okay

✓ Better prompt

Scan this dataset — [paste data] — for data-quality issues: impossible values, likely typos, inconsistent formats, duplicates, and outliers. For each, say why it's suspicious and suggest how to check it. Don't auto-delete anything.

Why this works

Catching suspect values before analysis keeps a few bad rows from skewing the whole conclusion.

Practice task

Try it now

Run a small dataset through an error-and-outlier check.

Self-check

  • Flags impossible values and likely typos
  • Identifies duplicates and format issues
  • Suggests how to verify, not auto-delete

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming the data is clean
  • Deleting outliers without checking them
  • Missing inconsistent formats or duplicates
