Python Challenge
Well... I've made it!
It's time to put away the Excel sheet and join the big leagues. Welcoming me to the world of programming with Python. In this challenge, I'll be using the concepts you've learned to complete the two Python Challenges, PyBank and PyPoll.

In this challenge, I am are tasked with creating a Python script for analyzing the financial records of my company. I will give a set of financial data called budget_data.csv. The dataset is composed of two columns:
DateandProfit/Losses. (Thankfully, my company has rather lax standards for accounting so the records are simple.) -
My task is to create a Python script that analyzes the records to calculate each of the following:
-
The total number of months included in the dataset
-
The net total amount of "Profit/Losses" over the entire period
-
Calculate the changes in "Profit/Losses" over the entire period, then find the average of those changes
-
The greatest increase in profits (date and amount) over the entire period
-
The greatest decrease in profits (date and amount) over the entire period
Total Months: 86
Total:
