Combining Multiple Data Frames from the Global Environment Problem Overview As a data analyst, working with large datasets can be challenging. In this scenario, we have multiple data frames stored in the global environment, each representing a day’s trading activity from different .csv files. Due to performance issues while uploading these files, some preprocessing was done on each individual file before they were uploaded. The result is a large data frame that needs to be combined into a single master data frame.
