Python Is Awesome (02/15) #790

Your Daily Accomplishment πŸš€:

I needed to automate a task at work that involved processing and reformatting some data. Since I didn't have admin privileges, I attempted to do it in VBA. It was such a pain, but I was making progress. One of my coworkers told me that I could get Python installed. Life-changing!!! In a little over an hour, I had the script completed and functional. I know VBA is powerful in its own right, but there's nothing like Python. πŸ˜‚

I thought I would use pandas, but I was able to do everything with the csv module.

I may still decide to complete the VBA code as it will make it easier to share with coworkers (i.e. they won't have to install Python and run from command prompt). Although, maybe I could build a GUI πŸ€” We'll see.

@r002 Hope you're doing well. I keep getting sidetracked with life, but I keep coming back to Study Dash because I miss it when I'm gone.

I'm super behind on bootcamp work. πŸ₯΄ Hopefully, coming back here will get me back on track.

Extra/Fun (Optional) πŸŽˆπŸŽ‰πŸ₯³:

Went for a walk outside.

@anitabe404, so great to hear from you! Glad you're enjoying work and getting a chance to use Python! 😊

Life here has been good. On days that I work from home I feel the day just absolutely breezes by which is mind-boggling. I'm also getting into automating stuff too, in particular-- in node.js and in the GCP stack. We also use a lot of Google Sheets and AppScripts at work so that's been fun.

Exciting times! Be well!
