Schema

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-value-of-public-contracts-awarded-to-smes-per-category-of-8e7b0858")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Inspect Columns

print(df.info())
print(df.head())

Filter By Geography

if "country_iso3" in df.columns:
    sample = df[df["country_iso3"] == "MU"]

Time-Series Pattern

if "value" in df.columns and "year" in df.columns:
    trend = df.sort_values("year")

Pivot For Analysis
