Dear Community , I have a column in my dataset containing ip-adress , I'm trying to do some exploratory data analysis on my dataframe , but I don't know how to explore or describe the ip address column , should I delete it ?
Thank you David Eugene Booth for your answer , but I'm wondering why they have such column in data then if it's gonna be ignored anyway while analysing .
It depends on the problem you are facing. Maybe it could be associated with geographical location, but it depends on the specific characteristics of your dataset and research objective. Also, you should consider ethics and confidential data implications, and so on. Here is a working example found on the web:

skip that column df = subset(mydata, select = -c(columnnames) )
