Isn’t a variable, is a parameter for a daterange function.

They actually used red tape for that, and this is why burocracy is called red tape, because they had to fill paperwork everytime a code change was needed or reversed.

Ah fuck, this happened me with the Chainladder library. Had to modify the source code to change the M to ME.

Remove the tape.

Easy, pens, eraser, tape and writing comments on the card

And Claude, off course.

The best is when the version also had the name of an ex employee on it.

In my past life, I worked as Data Manager in a movie, at the lunch break, everyone would smoke pot as if nothing. I couldn’t do it because I can’t use computers while high.

Oh yes, I remember using power query for a few months once I started working with bigger databases, but I saw that moving to Python would be better carrer wise and never came back to excel to do actual work (but at the end everything get exported to excel)

Excel have a limit of 2^20 rows, something more that 1M. Curious what version of excel are you using for that.

Is usenet the Arch of piracy? Like in every thread about torrents someone jumps in with “I use usenet btw”

Brazil have Bolsonaro, but at least our government is not based on vibes but in actual checks and balances (kinda) and he lost his political rights, can’t participate in politics until 2030 and is probably going to jail.

Once you get the basics of Python, you need to learn the Pandas library. Also, check out Jupyter notebooks right now, is going to make your life easier.

And by buy, he means that’s he expect Elon to loan one to him and never return it

Also in finance, hate excel, use python for everything, all my scripts still end with pd.to_excel() because I’m not the only person on the company.

Plastic is an incredible material. This is why is so important to preserve the oil necessary for it and don’t waste it in energy that can be obtained on other ways.
