Description

Download all the data of the Netherlands (can be found somewhere in the top-5 in the worldcup).
Open the excel and apply 'text to columns'.

The next issues are visible:

  • Number in 'total_litter' > real number of items in the different colums:
    Go to item 109266. The column 'total_litter' says 2, but there in only a 1 in the column 'plasticFoodPackaging'. Where/What is the other item?

  • Number in 'total_litter' < real number of items in the different colums:
    Go to item 109304. The column 'total_litter' says 1, however, there is a 1 in the column of 'beer can' and there is a 1 in the column of 'Heineken'. So why is 'total_litter' not 2?

Research direction

Reproduce the Netherlands download, open the Excel file, and apply “text to columns” as described. Inspect items 109266 and 109304 and compare total_litter with their item columns; done means the exported total matches the reported item values in both cases.
