I have some weekly reports that I’ve somehow ended up generating (Getting data via SQL, massaging the data, and presenting via a dashboard or sharing a spreadsheet.
For creating a repeatable set of calculations when someone asks for something (which I’m sort of doing via Powerquery or Google Apps Script)
I’m quite big on visualizations, so I want to give Matplotlib a go.
And I do of coding (Javascript & C++(Arduino)), and have always wanted to add Python to my list of skills, especially in recent times, as I begin to delve more into Data.
